    Is being your own antiparticle kind of like being your own grandpa?

    This is easy. Just pick up any homeopathic "medicine/treatment". IIRC, that ratio is about how much "active" ingredient is left after properly diluting it. Of course, the energy vibrations of the original ingredient permeate the fluid it is diluted with.

    Now that's how science should look. Experiments should always require a step-stool.

    I don't completely understand this experiment, but there's clearly a 50/50 chance that it will create a black hole and destroy the world! We need to shut this down IMMEDIATELY!

    @Grey_Area: R.O.A.C.H.: Why would the barium atom be hanging out with all the other barium atoms so similar? I always think its the stupid barium atom with the sunglasses.

    If you notice, there is no area to stand in or a control panel. The control room is above ground in a lead lined room.

    The STM must be covered in tinfoil at all times to keep it out of the influence alien effector control.
