Move Trapdoorspyder, TyGuy6, and Cuddlebeam to Floor 50.

Paul Dirac theorized the existence of antiparticles. Carl Anderson confirmed their existence in a 1932 experiment. They were awarded Nobel prizes for these achievements. (https://www.exploratorium.edu/origins/cern/ideas/antimatter.html)

In our day, antimatter can be produced via large colliders, and then siphoned into nearby electromagnetic fields for storage (since it can’t touch normal matter without annihilating). I saw a tour of such a facility on Youtube!

Note to voters that this proposal is automatically popular under “Mind Over Antimatter”, and can only fail if it is withdrawn or vetoed.

What is BlogNomic?

BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.

The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
