    Does anyone know the exact process in creating antimatter in the LEAR?

    It is said that Antihydrogen is created from the pairing of antiproton and positrons but how are antiprotons and positrons created artificially in the first place?

    Antiprotons and positrons occured naturally in the stars but on Earth they are created in Particle Accelerator, they have very short life span if not caught and stored properly using magnets.

    In one of the recent tests at the CERN site they noticed some particles simply disappeared. They speculated that they may have moved to a parallel universe.
    Maybe that's where UFOs really come from. That takes the light-speed travel problem out of the equation.
    They're really not from waaaay out there but are right beside us.

    By bombarding certain atoms with subatomic particles using a particle accelerator, antimatter can be created.

    There are other ways of FTL travel.

    One way is to go through an artificial wormhole (aka hyperdrive)

    Another way is to use gravity to bend (or warp) space making a longer distance shorter (aka warp drive)
