Antimatter is the most expensive substance in existence, valued at trillions of dollars per gram. It is extremely rare in the universe because, when an antiparticle forms, it almost instantly collides with a corresponding particle, leading to mutual annihilation and the release of energy in the form of radiation.
Antimatter consists of particles with opposite charges compared to their normal matter counterparts—positrons instead of electrons, antiprotons instead of protons. Scientists produce and study antimatter in highly controlled environments, such as particle accelerators, but storing it remains a significant challenge due to its volatile interactions with regular matter. Its potential applications range from advanced energy sources to medical imaging and deep-space propulsion.

That's just to manufacture it, if sold at that price there's no profit in it - not for you 🤷‍♂️

They should have also added the total debt of the planet is $315 to £350 trillion @ interest, nice little earner for the fortunate few who produce money from fuck all!

TIL that this new holiday destination from EasyJet looks shit - check out the Google Maps photo's :oops:



EasyJet flights launch to island dubbed 'new Canaries' with 12 months of sunshine​


The first easyJet flight to a new island destination took off on Sunday, marking the longest route offered so far by the budget airline.

The flights from London Gatwick to the island of Sal, Cape Verde, clock in at just over six hours, and mark the first time the airline has offered a route to a Sub-Saharan African destination.

It was a massive windsurfing destination back in the 90s/2000s but it never caught on .. hard to convince the wife to spend 2 weeks in a kip while you enjoy the tropical sailing conditions 😀 it's remained a hippy drifter destination for people trying to live for fuck all

My great grandfather was a tripe-dresser in Rochdale, who died in the 1930s.

I only know this because my younger son joined Ancestry.com, and found a press cutting from a Rochdale newspaper, which gives brief details of his suicide, aged 60.

Apparently, he was suffering from "consumption" (otherwise known as TB) and wasn't well, so one evening after visiting a pub, he went to the canal, took his two coats and cap off, and folded them neatly on the canal bank. Then he managed to tie his hands together, and jumped in.

In his pockets were 3 shillings and two "metal cheques".

His body was found 2 days later by a police constable using a drag-hook.

The coroner recorded his death as "Suicide whilst of unsound mind", and noted that the deceased had made previous reference to taking his life, and was "determined to drown"

My grandfather told the coroner that the family had tried to make him comfortable, but he was greatly troubled by his illness. My grandfather later died serving in Malta in 1944.

It's strange to discover this after so long.

I've researched on Ancestry.co.uk since 2010 ( my Great Grandmother left some comprehensive family tree work too) I find it fascinating to see the occupations of relatives on the census forms which date back to 1841. Beyond which you are mostly reliant on church records - births, deaths, marriages and christening, which go back to Cromwell (he insisted on churches keeping their records in secure coffers). If you get lucky and find links to the Peerage then you can go back to Charlemagne. I did, thus Hugo Magnus.
