Tell you what, if I had a gram, I'd split it up and sell it like weed

Yes, but there has to be a way to control it. Sure right now we don't know how, but with technology advancing we'll figure it out. It also is dependent on how much anti-matter is being used. Look at the atomic bomb, it uses the same principle of atomic fission but in a small controlled environment it can yield useful results.

One ten thousandth of a mg is enough to blow up most of western US.

I think that's about right. This is all from college courses I took over a decade ago so it's a little fuzzy. The prof was a trekkie :chuckles:

Lol, this thread coming up today is kinda creepy cause I was up all damn night trying to put down Angels & Demons. I'm about 1/2 way done and AWSOME book. Granted I'm not done yet, but so far I think The Da Vinci Code was better, but A&D is still sweet.

We never thought we'd be able to fly to the moon. Never underestimate the power of the human brain.
