Antimatter

"Researchers at Cern, home of the Large Hadron Collider, have held 38 antihydrogen atoms in place, each for a fraction of a second. Antihydrogen has been produced before but it was instantly destroyed when it encountered normal matter. The team, reporting in Nature, says the ability to study such antimatter atoms will allow previously impossible tests of fundamental tenets of physics. The current "standard model" of physics holds that each particle - protons, electrons, neutrons and a zoo of more exotic particles - has its mirror image antiparticle. The antiparticle of the electron, for example, is the positron, and is used in an imaging technique of growing popularity known as positron emission tomography"

In this new scientist explain how they can found the antimatter, this is very important for evolution of science. Since some years the scientist knew the existence of this "thing", the antimatter jointly with matter can generate a lot of energy. I think that in this new we see the evolution of science, in my opinion in this century we will observer a lot of improvements in this issue.

On the other hand this type of experiment are very expensive, the creation of antimatter cost around 60.000 millions and moreover the conservation of this type of matter are very complicated cause we can put togheter. They must save with electromagnetic and complex camp.

I would like to express my opinion in reference in this experiment, I think that we must invest time and capital in this part of science because our future depends of the capacity of our minds.
