Factoids: CERN and antimatter
Prologue: Leonardo Vetra’s murder	1	1
1. Robert Langdon, Illuminati	3
2. Kohler’s call to L	7	7
3. Killer delivers antimatter to Man in Shadows	8	9
4. Langdon in X-33, Mach 15	9	9
5. Killer = Hassassin, Man in Shadows = Janus	12	12
6. Langdon to CERN, glass cathedral. (CERN site on A&D: http://public.web.cern.ch/Public/Content/Chapters/Spotlight/SpotlightAandD-en.html)	15	15
7. Kohler, Web, “miracles in science labs”, free fall 20% (would reduce terminal velocity only from 60 to 48 m/sec ~ 10x parachutist’s 5 m/s – HRW.123)	19	18
8. CERN, GUT, answering “meaning of life and the universe” Leonardo Vetra	23	22
9. Corpse, ambigram Rift between church and science, Copernicus murdered (not really) Trial of Galileo, formation of Illuminati, Inquisition, Shaitan	29	26
10. Hassassin’s reward	34	31
11. Masons, “church was mankind’s greatest enemy”	34	33
12. antimatter in Rome	42	38
13. scientist V = catholic priest “proved the existence of an energy force that unites us all”; Evolution vs fundamentalists, stolen eye	43	39
14. Vittoria: BioEntanglement physicist, resident hatha yoga guru	48	43
15. Langdon lost father at 12; SSC canceled by “Bible-belt lobbyists” HEP = brute force; CERN R > 4 km, v=180,000 miles/sec	52	47
16. Rome: camera 86 missing, Vatican = 32 bldgs in half-mile radius	57	52
17. Vittoria rescued from orphanage by priest. “Physics? I thought you loved God?” Moved to CERN at age 12. LV discovered Z (actually, Z discovered by Rubbia’s huge team in 1983). Konig Kohler. “Scatter plots” (actually particle tracks); eyeball scanner	59	54
18. Brutality. Hassassin = Angel of Truth = Malak al-haq	65	59
19. Vetra lab. Science + religion. Big Bang proposed by catholic church, stolen by scientists (read BB on Lemaitre). Hubble “Scientifically proved the BB was accurate” (not so simple). Vetra “proved Genesis was possible” by creating “matter out of nowhere” in accelerator. Religion and BB both claim that “the BB created everything in the universe with an opposite”. (Antimatter is not “impossible in our galaxy”, and it does not prove creation of the universe)	66	60
20. Hassassin in Passeto, counting in Arabic	73	67
21. Antimatter suspended between magnetic fields (charges can be confined electrostatically, but not many, for they repel; neutral particles cannot be confined with EM) Millions of positrons “impossible” (CERN can create 10^7 per sec) 5 micrograms = million particles? (actually, one g ~ 6 x 10^23 antiprotons. It would take 2 billion years to make 1 g.) Accelerating particles through xenon and stripping electrons leaves positrons, antimatter (no, actually, it would leave nuclei – positively charged ordinary matter. Antiprotons created by scattering HE protons off tungsten)	74	68
22. Matter-antimatter annihilation = God (actually, it’s photons)	79	72
23. marketing antimatter: Truth vs the Market. Nuclear and solar bad rep. ¼ g = 5 kilotons? (yes, about right: Kiloton ~ 4 x 10^12 J) Discovery of eye.	82	75
24. antimatter in Rome ticking down	88	80
25. Missing antimatter undetectable (but its metal canister would be!) Illuminati terrorism	89	81
