  10. The Starship Enterprise of Star Trek fame has OBSOLETE technology!

  12. They kept their anti-matter in special electromagnetic flasks -- carefully
  13. mixed with matter to drive their warp engines.
  14.  
  15. Brigsten and Mallove must be claiming that we don't need special bottles
  16. to hold anti-matter, we don't even have to find a supply of anti-matter.
  17.  
  18. Anti-matter is contained within the matter all around us.  Given the right
  19. conditions, the matter/anti-matter charcteristics of normal matter can
  20. be combined to produce annihilation energy.
