From Robert Cailliau, CERN
Feedback reports that it would cost a thousand trillion US dollars to make 250 milligrams of antimatter (20 November). You can read more about Dan Brown’s book Angels and Demons and its antimatter theme at a special page we put up at CERN. Go to www.cern.ch and click on “Spotlight On”.
Not only would the bill for the antimatter be very high, it would also take billions of years to accumulate at the rate we produce antimatter today.
