 Positron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The positron is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron.
Anderson also unsuccessfully suggested renaming electrons "negatrons." The positron was the first evidence of antimatter and was discovered by passing cosmic rays through a gas chamber and a lead plate surrounded by a magnet to distinguish the particles by bending differently charged particles in different directions.
Today, positrons are produced in enormous numbers in accelerator physics laboratories and used in electron-positron colliders.

 Voltayre's ENCYCLOPEDIA XENOBIOLOGICA: Starship Weaponry
The Antimatter Cannon is a devastating short range weapon.
Usually placed in a phased array, the weapon has a wide area of effect, that effectively "rains" antimatter on attacking vessels.
Primarily an anti-starfighter weapon, the particle beam has a shorter range and less power than other captial-scale weaponry.

 ACTD - Advanced Starship Design Bureau | Defiant-class Specs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
It was a heavily armored, stripped-down vessel that was created as a first strike vehicle for use in war, and incorporated the latest in Starfleet weaponry and defensive technology.
The core is constructed from a central translucent aluminum and duranium reactor with dilithium articulation frame, four-lobed magnetic constriction segment columns, and matter and antimatter injectors.
Plasma transfer conduits exit the core on Deck 3 and extend laterally to the nacelles and the warp plasma injectors.

 The Reviewer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In " Spaceships and Weapons" (Chapter 4), with ten topics and three essays, Cavelos considers the velocity of light, laws and principles of Newton and Einstein, fuel requirements (chemical fuels vs. nuclear fusion), matter and antimatter, hyperspace and wormholes (the latter, incidentally, suggested initially by Albert Einstein).
Topics elaborated in sections entitled "When 'Faster than A Speeding Bullet' Just Isn't Fast Enough," "When You Came in Here, Didn't You have a Plan for Getting Out?," and "The Music of the Spheres," include superstring and particle theories, and a multidimensional universe (with up to ten dimensions).
Cavelos presents us with a half dozen explanations of "Han's Boast" (e.g., the error that he "made the Kessell Run in less than 12 parsecs") - parsecs are measurement of distance, in this instance, 228 billion miles -- rather than time.

 The Occult: Occultopedia - letter M index
Making sense of these fascinating but complex ideas for the general reader is a difficult task, one that science journalist Siegfried (The Bit and the Pendulum) accomplishes deftly, with wit and insight.
He does a superb job of explaining how mathematical advances have led to an amazing array of "prediscoveries," from the existence of antimatter to the concept of an expanding universe.
The 30-page photo section is particularly interesting, with photos of cloud-busting machines battling UFOs, bizarre orgone weaponry, and many sky creatures photographs.
