Minus Planet by John D. Clark, Ph.D:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"There was one projectile big enough to make a dent in the planet's path — the Moon — and they could spare it."


('Minus Planet' by John Clark)

This is an early story about antimatter - the story calls it "minus elements":

And now one makes a whole universe with these minus elements. And one makes oneself out of them, too, and lives in the place, and can’t tell the difference between it and a regular universe. All the physical laws will be the same — but just wait until part of your new universe hits part of a regular universe!

Select an invention:

Antron
A single particle of antimatter - an antiproton.

Atomic Drill
An atomic-powered auger, for use in drilling deep into planets and asteroids.
