Default Antimatter On Earth

Interesting stuff. Certain types of Lightning can cause Anti-matter and Gamma ray burtsts.

I watched this tin foil hat documentary on discovery channel(?) about anti-matter.

the basic premise of the show was that the United States Government has spent years reverse engineering Roswell UFO crash technology (Light weight bullet proof materials, alloys, night vision, etc) and they are finally around to figuring out the propulsion system of the craft to the extent that it can be reproduced using our current technology - but that the engines are powered by anti-matter and this is why there has been super colliding super conductors built because they can produce tiny amounts of antimatter as a byproduct of their operation.

I agree. The simple fact that everyone knows but nobody wants to admit is that humans are too stupid to think up these things on our own. Therefore, alien visitation is a fact, deny it all you want. See how simple logic can be? The more flawed the logic, the simpler it gets.

So how much does GR know, and what is he covering up?


Seriously, though, that is an interesting article. I wonder how much of it is known and how much is speculation.

Ahh, the new History Channel - from predominantly WWII history to conspiracy theories, prophesy, and psychics. Oh, what we have lost.

Oh wait, nevermind, you said DISCOVERY channel and I used it as an excuse for a History Channel rant. Whoops.

Really, Discovery Channel? Really? You have nothing better to make shows about? Has Mythbusters really gone that dry? We have to start talking about alien anti-matter? To be perfectly honest with you, I don't understand much about anti-matter. Other than the fact that scientists know there was a lot of it at the creation of the universe, and now they want to find it.

Hey, dunno about you but I can't wait to see Mike Rowe dig around an antimatter harvesting plant
