Well, let's see what the data says. I confess I want the universe to surprise and confound. I want the theories to be wrong, I want reality to be stranger than fiction. That would be awesome!

Or I am wrong, in which case I'll happily pay out[1]. I'm a layman, as if that wasn't obvious, and it will be a much-needed physics lesson. Win-win.

[1] If in Australia, payout will take the form of alcohol credits at an establishment of winner's choosing. Hey, I want to learn from my superiors :) If not, a crisp USD$100 note will be posted to any mailing address in the world, to be supplied.



I want the theories to be wrong too, it's just that I'm a sceptic in this case simply because of the utter awesomness that would be the result.

I will happily spend more than $100 just on delivery if that is required to make a payout in liquor (local Swedish flavors) across the world. Crisp paper is fully acceptable as well :)

Doubt we will ever settle this though... I have painfully little faith in scientific breakthroughs.


Well, it would be really cool and confounding if gravity made antimatter move sideways. But I don't think that's likely.


Indeed, considering that there are 360 degrees of sideways. Which one? :)
