Further study is motivated not only by fundamental interest but also because experiments may shed light on the physics of dense cores of gas giant planets like Jupiter, or guide efforts to create anti-hydrogen through the recombination of positrons and anti-protons. Although most physicists discount the idea that anti-hydrogen might one day be developed as a very high potency fuel for interstellar rockets or superbombs, some scientists have not abandoned the dream of exploiting antimatter as a propellant. |
