Anti-protons are one thing, but seeing anything heavier than anti-Helium would be strong evidence for their being regions of the universe with anti-matter dominating.

Also, this is the first step toward developing the Total Perspective Vortex." So much for cloaked ships. http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.2293 - How to measure the speed of gravity http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.3700 *Reionization* http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.4277 Omniscopes? *Feeding a Galaxy* http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.4323 "How do massive giant ellipticals get their mass? With a feeding tube! This paper is about a weak-lensing survey showing a giant filament feeding a giant elliptical."

This is traditionally pictured as a circle, though in practice it could be more like a rounded rectangle. In either case it would require access to a significant amount of land to house the installation. Good for space based power that doen't need large surface areas for photovoltaric arrays?
