Cern Researchers Look to Create Flubber

" Cern Researchers Look Into Anti-Gravity With Antimatter.....

Could anti-gravity be the next science fiction technology we tackle? A group of researchers working at Cern in Switzerland seem to think so.

The scientists are currently experimenting with antimatter as a possible means to create an anti-gravity propulsion system. Antimatter particles act as a reverse to regular matter, holding an equal but opposite electric charge. Scientists are still unsure how antimatter would respond to gravity, but the leading notion is that it may "fall up" instead of down.(help I've fallen up and I can't get down?)

Cern's "Alpha" experiment may be the next step towards confirming that idea. Alpha stands for the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus, and the device is designed to trap antimatter "atoms" for study. The "antihydrogen" mentioned in the acronym is an atom composed of the opposite of hydrogen's' proton and electron: an antiproton and positron.

In 2011, Alpha researchers were able to trap antihydrogen atoms for 1,000 seconds; and earlier this year, they've gone back to that data to test how the antimatter responds to gravity."
