Hi,

I've just learned that scientists have created something that appears to be anti-hydrogene, that is, hydrogene with oppositely charged particles (negative proton, positive electron (positron)).

http://physicscentral.org/action/2003/antics-research.html

I wonder how this fits in with Russells cosmogony?

The paradox is that an universe of anti-matter identical to ours would probably look and behave completely identical to ours, seen from inside. They're only different when compared to each other, in terms of the polarization between them.

In any case, I have yet to see any scientific discovery that violates the polarity principle, so in that sense Russells science still stands the test. I wouldn't expect otherwise anyway. Smile
