[cdn-nucl-l] Physicists Create Antimatter

["Edward Oleen" <eoleen@earthlink.net>]

>>"a positively charged antiproton, is circled by
an antielectron, =

>>Aren't antiprotons negatively charged?

Come ON, Jerry - you KNOW that the media have, at
best, a very weak grasp of physics, etc. Do you
really expect them to use such jaw-breakers as
"anti-proton" and have the great unwashed
multitude which they so feebly represent
understand?

After all, if the press release had been written
for those of us who have a faint inkling of the
subject matter, it would have read something like
"ATHENA collaboration at CERN claims "stockpile"
of more than 50,000 anti-hydrogen atoms", now
wouldn't it?
