I recently read Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons". I was wondering if anyone else read it and how they liked it.

BTW, all the technology in the book, though farfetched, is all real. The Boeing X-33 is from a series of planes called "X-Vehicles" and can attain speeds of up to Mach 15.This is Boeing's X-Vehicle Site
The CERN organization is also real and, yes, the World Wide Web did start off as one of their projects. This is their website
The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is under construction and will be done around 2007.This is the LHC's site

I highly recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

I have read it. Along with the infamous Da Vinci Code.

I havent read it. I've been warned that his other books arent as good as 'The DaVinci Code'. Obviously this thread is contrary to those warnings, so I might read it at some point.

Poor CERN has been forced to put up a section in their website basicly repeating the same thing: "NO, we do not produce Anti-matter bombs"

Rofl! yup, antimatter isn't a substance I would want to have in any quantity on a planet. The risks in event of containment failure are two great.

As Cern notes, we already use anti-matter in PET Tomographers.

Positron Emission Tomography.
