No duck and weave, just straight and forward logic here...

IMHO, anything that requires such a huge artificial environment of electro-magnets in order to maintain its form is not stable by definition!

IMHO, the whole thing is already a waste as it is! To me, anthing that requires such a huge artifial environment like that, just to try to chase the same standard theories towards a theoretical god particle, is a waste of time and money!!!
Hey, but what do I know! Someone is paying for those bills!!!
> Theoretically there could be a whole universe made of antimatter.
Indeed, theoretically everything and anything is possible but not necessarily straight and forward from a logic point of view!
I personally see the anti-hydrogen atom concept as some sort of reverse twisted logic argument since a standard stable nucleus is positive and neutral and never negative! But then again, that's just me...
