To my surprise

I remember it was quite a surprise to me when,  my freshman year here I heard we was a real nuclear reactor on campus.  A few days ago I learned about another amazing thing that PSU has on campus.  Antimatter, the mirror image of matter resides on this very campus.  Although its only a few nanograms, If it were to come into contact with any matter, it would level the building that holds it.  Apparently it is held in  a high power magnetic  field that suspends it .  From what I hear, the reaction between matter and antimatter gives of pure energy waaaay more efficiently than a nuclear explosion.  Thats the rumor that I heard.  From what i understand we are trying to develop a way to use antimatter in interstellar travel. Sounds fun  This makes me wonder…  Is there an AntiJames out there somewhere?  If so are we destined to explode each other? Crazy!
