Apparently, anti-matter has now been trapped for 16 minutes.
I'm sure that this should be relevant in some way shape or form to life as we know it, but I'm unable to work out how. So to put it bluntly, they've got hold of some anti-hydrogen, in order to work out the differences between anti-hydrogen and hydrogen.
Clifford Surko, a physicist at the University of California said that it would be a "huge advance in terms of understanding why we live in a world of matter". I couldn't really give a toss, but I really do feel like this information should be life-changing. Are we soon going to be producing matter-anti-matter reactors?
Oh, wait, NASA are trying to design one here.
