Scientists have trapped antimatter for more than 15 minutes!

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=antiatoms-alpha-1000-seconds

What does this mean for us here in the CH?
Do anti-post counts matter?

And maybe Bubba can shed some light on this quote for us?:
But the mutual annihilation between those particles and their ubiquitous matter counterparts makes it challenging to hang on to antimatter for very long, and even more challenging to produce and confine bound atomic arrangements of multiple antiparticles.


 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    That's nothing.

    Mooch has had anti-Bapu trapped for about a year now.

    If you're against antimatter, does that make you matter?  And if you don't matter, would you then be antimatter?    It don't matter to me.

    I think these scientist guys just get bored, make this crap up, and then come up with a scholarly publication with incomprehensible formulae that is so boring that no one ever reads it, but won't admit that they didn't read it, so no one refutes it, they win a Nobel prize for physics, and then they all go to MacDonalds and have a Happy Meal to celebrate.

    Well, that kind of thing doesn't matter or antimatter down here in the CH.

    Ok.  I'm back now.  I ran into Anti-UbiquitousBubba and we annihilated each other for about 15 minutes.  Fortunately, I was driving at the time, so no one was hurt or absurdly amused.  I'm feeling better now.

    Oh, by the way, that Quantum Entanglement thing?  That was me.  I meant to tie Anti-UbiquitousBubba's shoes together, and I got carried away.  Sorry.

    what were you driving?  one of those darned motorbikes with loud pipes?  would that mean that anti-bubba was driving a unicycle with quiet pipes?

    Oddly enough, Anti-UbiquitousBubba was driving a bloated rabid sabre toothed ferret with extraneous pipes.  He also wore a leather hat with a faux pony tail.  Anti-UbiquitousBubba wore a hat, too.  It had feathers and tinkly bells.  The hat, I mean, not Anti-UbiquitousBubba.

    I have a long scale Gibson RD Artist bass (broken) the one with the Moog electronics. Does that count?

    Just had a thought - Bapu, aren't you made of ante-matter? If you are, this matter-antimatter stuff shouldn't matter a whit to you.  Just like post counts.

    Everybody back away slowly and leave the sciencey things for the Scientists.  They'll know what to do with an Anti-CJ.

    I think that's because Uncle Matter moonlights as a fairy Godfather.  As we've previously discussed, they don't like it when people talk about their business.
