Scientists create antihydrogen, will allow test of standard model
Undated-AP -- It's not enough to power a starship or fire a photon torpedo -- but scientists say they've created antimatter.
They say the more than 50-thousand atoms created at a particle accelerator in Switzerland are the most ever produced -- and enough to test a widely held model of the universe.
Antimatter is the mirror image of conventional matter with opposite properties. Antimatter is destroyed whenever it collides with matter, turning both into bursts of electromagnetic radiation.
Scientists believe this process was crucial to the fiery creation of the universe billions of years ago.
They plan to make more of it so they can test equations that explain the nature of matter and energy.
Researcher Jeffrey Hangst says if it doesn't behave as expected, physics textbooks would have to be rewritten.
The research is documented in tomorrow's issue of the journal Nature.
Just when you think your out of the woods,a tree falls on you!
