Strange object in the sky

wow...approx. 400 years old and expanding at 11 million miles per hour...do the math...space is pretty awesome.

I don't care what it is. Looking at it makes me feel groovy - and like buying something online while watching Oprah. . . . ;-)

Alrighty then! Has somebody been in the organic 'shrooms again? LOL!

Overstock.com has some space on their site. Black hole earrings.

Is anti-matter cheaper than matter?

Is anti-matter cheaper than matter?

Natural antimatter and matter are supposedly opposite but equal.

But as for artificial antimatter:

Scientists claim antimatter is the costliest material to make.[27] In 2006, Gerald Smith estimated $250 million could produce 10 milligrams of positrons[28] (equivalent to $25 billion per gram); and in 1999 NASA gave a figure of $62.5 trillion per gram of antihydrogen.[27] This is because production is difficult (only a few antiprotons are produced in reactions in particle accelerators), and because there is higher demand for the other uses of particle accelerators. According to CERN, it has cost a few hundred million Swiss Francs to produce about 1 billionth of a gram (the amount used so far for particle/antiparticle collisions).[29]

Well, that solves that. All my Christmas gifts will be made of matter this year (with maybe a little spirit thrown in).

None of this matters

None of this matters

Or... none of this anti-matters...for that matter.

That's what I said.

It's mind over matter, or is it anti-mind over anti-matter?
