Antimatter trapped

There's a reason Iron is the "magic stopping point" but I forget why. Something to do with energy levels I suppose... you can get to Iron with each 'reaction' generating energy but beyond that you have to put energy in to create heavier nuclei?

Bastards trapping nice little anti matter things. Someone should call the RSPCSAP.

Iron is an effective charm against witches and evil spirits that's why. Dark matter and antimatter and stuff are all evil.

Either way, all the atoms in our body heavier than helium were created in a star exploding. So we are all made of stardust.

About half of all the lithium around today was created within the first few minutes after the Big Bang (before any stars had formed).

What colour is regular matter?

Well, I always though that protons were red, electrons were blue and neutrons were yellow. Or was it grey?

no, electrons are orange, I'm positive

Does it matter? Or should I say, does it antimatter? Anyway enough of the brilliant jokes:

It's the first thing they are going to look at according to this article. The big surprise will come if it's different to ordinary matter, together with much science being tipped into the bin.
