IIRC Feynman said something like "it is better to not know than knowing and be wrong". Well, at list I've tried, I think my skills in english and pedagogy don't allow me to be more persuasive than that. :roll:

From the
link (wikipedia) I've posted earlier: "A positron is the antiparticle of the electron. It is antimatter, has an electric charge of +1, a spin of 1/2, and the same mass as an electron. When a positron annihilates with an electron, their mass is converted into energy in the form of two gamma ray photons."
Now, is this the particle you're talking about or something else?

(the explanation of what are we really seeing here )

You're big on the strawmen today aren't you?

Actually I was very serious; interpreting an image whitout knowing how it was obtained is not recomended at all and could lead to completely wrong conclusions.

I think your sentence resumes in the best way this thread. Yes, I think first and only after that I claim to know. It seems that you're disagree with this way to reach a conclusion, therefore I see no reason to continue this discussion since this has ceased to be a scientific debate (if it ever was... :-? )
