The Story
The Illuminati? (Or is it?)
Antimatter is stolen from
the Large Hadron Collider
... and is used as a weapon
to threaten the Vatican
Robert Langdon and
Vittoria Vetra (CERN) save
the day

Why colliders?

E = mc
The universe is made of light particles
In order to make massive particles, need to
convert lots of energy into matter.

E =m c +p c
Mass is a kind of potential energy
Turn kinetic energy into potential energy
Speed of light is big... so a lot of kinetic
energy is required to make a little mass

Fact: Antimatter
Opposite of matter
Annihilates with matter to produce energy
Flip Tanedo & Don Teo, The Physics of ANGELS & DEMONS 20 /45
What is antimatter?
Charge-Parity conjugation
Right-handed, +charged particle converted
into a left-handed, - charged particle
All fundamental particles have anti-partners
Can even produce anti-atoms (1995 in
CERN)... but can only store for a few sec.
