Today, 19 October 2023, I celebrate the 12th birthday of my website.

As a joke, I asked Bing to write a little birthday poem. I quote only one part from the poem, leaving out the parts about me:

„May this birthday be a special one,
Filled with joy and cheer.
May your site continue to grow,
And bring happiness far and near.”

Comment on a CERN experiment

Although the new test results suggest that the scientists' conclusions are at odds with my mathematical model¹ I have for antigravity between clay and antimatter, I was pleased to read the reports in Nature² on 27 September 2023 - and in Scientific American³ online on - of a CERN experiment using antihydrogen atoms to test the behaviour of antimatter in the Earth's gravitational field. I was happy to see the tests because, as beautiful as a theory is, experience has the final word.
