You can't make anti-hydrogen that lasts for any reasonable amount of time. Muonium only lasts for 10^-21 sec. I think the thing's powerful enough to cleaving collagen at make some glucose that emits a positron, but then you'd need the PET scanner to have any real fun with it.<br /><br />You're not going to detect any deviations from General Relativity and the Standard Model with it. What happens to your electric bill you don't want to think about.<br /><br />I suppose you could find out how many beta particles it takes to destroy a Twinkie, but the electricity bill would be horrendous.<br /><br />Trust me, you want to ask for the "Little Scientist Genetic Engineering Kit" for Christmas next year. We'll have you making one-eyed cats in no time!

Trust me, you want to ask for the "Little Scientist Genetic Engineering Kit" for Christmas next year.

It jumped in from something I deleted. No one wants to hear about the biochemistry I did one summer. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2128/comment-page-1#comment-4176 Jerry Nora Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/wordpress/archive/2130#comment-4176 Has my old friend from Illinois officially joined Ales Rarus as a contributor? http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2128/comment-page-1#comment-4177 Funky Dung Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/wordpress/archive/2130#comment-4177 Not entirely. Negotiations are still in progress. ;) ]]>
