Scientists have announced the first large-scale production of antimatter.

A team based at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva say they have developed a large amount of the substance.

In unrelated news, Geneva disappeared in an enormous explosion, with an estimated yield of almost six gigatons. This is 100 times as powerful as the largest nuclear detonation recorded, which was in 1961 off of the island of Novaya Zemlya.

A scientist at FermiLab, in Illinois, was on the telephone with a researcher the CERN lab at the time of the explosion. He states that the last words he heard on the phone before the detonation were "Hey, Hans, HOLD MUH BEER AND WATCH THIS!"
