The public doesn't know any better, and such article with that kind of inaccuracies does more harm than good.<br /><br />Besides, is it too much of a stretch and effort to make an accurate statement? It doesn't require any more education than the error that has been stated.<br /><br />Zz.ZapperZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861398273820851809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34480619.post-21010083055586512092011-04-28T15:43:34.581-05:002011-04-28T15:43:34.581-05:00I think you both are being far too harsh on this.....I think you both are being far too harsh on this..That article was from a local Orlando newspaper.

The trouble is that in the secular (if you'll pardon my use of the world, as I refer not to religion but physics) world there is a complete lack of understanding as to what antimatter even is - the very idea goes unexplained in almost every article I have read. They neglect to mention the mathematical foundations necessary to understand the significance of antimatter. Also they don't understand experiments AT all - I mean, I know people who think that an experiment like AMS would take a few hours or days. But enough bitching, I have to go back and read your post and laugh.Sarai Pahlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300400392628637766noreply@blogger.com
