Hi! I'm Alison. I'm a comedian. I pay the bills by playing people on TV, in movies and online. I also write words and worry too much. I have an embarrassingly low level of fame where no one knows my name, but they have this feeling that they went to school with me. I like firm handshakes, information, my dog, smart people and the Earth. I'm on Parks and Rec sometimes and VH1 even more. I'm sorry if I once pranked you on MTV. But, c'mon! That was fun, right?
Scientists Create Antimatter They Can Actually Study
Looks like the return on investment at CERN is going to be pretty good. Alexis Madrigal breaks down what they found and what it means.
Still looking for a satisfying definition of antimatter for a non-scientist like myself. Can you give me one? I’ve read that antimatter is - theoretically - composed of antiparticles. I understand this to mean - in my own words - that it’s like “opposite atoms” composed of “opposite electrons,” “opposite protons,” etc. Am I understanding that correctly?
But what IS it? Is it substance? Or is it nothing? And if it’s nothing, how can it be composed of anything? Maybe I’m too dumb, but I just can’t get this one. And everything I read (or hear) just talks in circles or assumes I know something that I don’t. Break it down for me, nerds!
