Whatever, the box inside the truck will break, the antis will break free and destroy not only earth but the WHOLE universe. Everything will be gone! Only Trump can stop it now. Stop bombing Iran, bomb CERN instead!! https://ww...t-antimatter-delivery-service/ Inside the world’s first antimatter delivery service On Tuesday, CERN will transport antiprotons on a truck for the first time, testing the plan to deliver antimatter by road to research labs across Europe 21 March 2026 Nestled in the heart of CERN’s antimatter factory, surrounded by intensely powerful magnetic fields and within a vacuum sparser than interstellar space, is some of the most sensitive material on Earth. Inside a filing-cabinet-sized box, which weighs a few hundred kilograms less than a Ford Focus, are a handful of antiprotons that have sat for weeks in extraordinary stillness. Most other particles produced in this building might expect to be probed and prodded, but these antiprotons have just one job: to sit tight and wait for their ride. These hundred or so antimatter particles will soon be transported on the back of a truck around a 4-kilometre loop of road around the CERN campus, which will be the first demonstration of a future antimatter delivery service that will one day see antimatter transported to laboratories around Europe. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a crane will lift the entire 850-kilogram trap onto the back of a truck, driven by someone who will have had specialist training to drive CERN’s sensitive equipment around, making sure they don’t accelerate or stop too suddenly. The truck will then take a 4-kilometre loop around the CERN campus, arriving back at the antimatter factory where it started. If their test is successful, the eventual goal for Smorra and his team will be to drive their antimatter capsule on roads beyond CERN, delivering it to laboratories across Europe. One such facility is currently under construction at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in Germany, where the antimatter will be studied in the absence of almost any external magnetic fields. However, this goal could take several years, as CERN will largely shut down in July to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider to operate at higher powers. That upgrade won’t finish until late 2028. But once the antimatter delivery service is up and running, you could be driving down a Swiss or German motorway and find yourself next to a truck full of antimatter. It will look just like a normal truck, but its contents will be anything but normal. |
