Erik Holmes unfortunately expressed:
> Antimatter is pretty much just like normal matter except that the molecules all spin in reverse.

Erik, it is a really, really, _really_, REALLY good idea to make sure of
your facts before expressing them in a public forum.  Otherwise you end
up embarrassed and looking like, well, like you didn't do your homework.

(Hint:  Antimatter isn't spin, there's this small matter of charge
and it isn't at all about molecules, except in the sense that
antimatter could potentially form such things from the antiparticles.
I know this much from just a very high-level lay understanding.  There
are physicists in this group.)
