Absolutely! It is a key component in warp drive! Without it interstellar travel would not be possible.

And with a system as complicated as global climate and weather, how many times do you have the flip the proverbial “confidence” coin? — rhetorical question.

Accuracy probably has to do with the number of states — a coin having two states. Our global climate system having a bazillion.

The whole AWG thing was never vetted.

Matter and anti-matter came after the bang. The bang started with the manifesting of dimensions time and space, at least, and perhaps a few more dimensionswe’ve yet to measure. Without time, physical events do not occur; without space physical things do not exist. [Some even remove the ‘physical’ from the statement.]

I am not sure. They may have had polls and focus groups before coming out with that. The Ozone Hole Disappearing had lost its oomph.

That is what you meant by vetting, isn't it? When you are peddling a fairy tale the title is often more important than the story. After all, it has to be incessantly repeated.

In the 1980’s, under RWR a large Super Conducting Super Collider began construction just south of Dallas. It was to have a “track” over 54 miles in circumference and a first class facility. After over 2 billion dollars had been spent and about 14 miles of tunnel and several large buildings were completed the Democrats cancelled the project. It nows lies abandoned and desolate. People whose land had been in their families for hundreds of years were moved off the site amid great protest. All for naught.

AWG was cooked up by the NWO guys. That sounds tin foil, but I’ve seen the Congressional Record and other documents that discuss the need for a new, existential, and common enemy if the nations of the world were to assent to a central global power.

AWG was it. The idea being that inaction on the matter would be suicide, and that it would take all nations together, forever, to stem the threat.

Problem with politicians and moneyed interests are that they seldom understand science. Science demands independently reproduceable results.

With AWG a failure, I’m sure they’re trolling for some alternative and more substantial bogeyman.

Now you have me confused(not hard to do)but I wonder where the metarial came fron to create the big bang?
It had to come from something or has the big bang happened more than once?.

It all came from God, Who preceeded all that we can sense or know.

Why did matter prevail over antimatter, matter cheated........Obvious.

Yup. You are absolutely right. It had nothing to do with science.

Very interesting.

This is a way to pay for the NWO. Tax industry and specifically Americans.

Mass and the antimatter particles’s lifetime here. The difference is mainly mass though.

When a particle encounters its antiparticle, they "annihilate" each other, disappearing in a high-energy flash of light.

The question remains: why did this not occur in the early Universe with the equal amounts of matter and antimatter, resulting in a Universe devoid of both? can you blow stuff up with this thump keg?

Just so y’all know.
Antimatter is the key to inventing a functional lightsabre.

All matter is surrounded by a cloud of electrons.
Positrons are the opposite of electrons.
The, “Blade,” must be a controlled arc of positrons.

A functional ‘light saber’ would be really cool. :) Encased antimatter in a little bada$$ form that cuts all matter. Yeah, I want one.
