Re: Giratina's messed up lore
Not Giratina-related, but the amount of misinformation in this thread pertaining to antimatter is bugging the Hell out of me.
Antimatter isn't some mystical Lovecraftian (non)substance that stops time and destabilizes normal space. It's merely the same fundamental particles that make up everything else, but with some reversed qualities (charge, spin, baryonic/leptonic number, etc.). Particles of antimatter - conveniently called antiparticles - experience the passage of time and exist in space just like normal particles do. And I'm not even talking about them existing in some distant corner of the Universe or some weird unseen dimension like dark matter - our own planet has its fair share, in places like big storm clouds and the Van Allen belts. We've also made antimatter in laboratories by smashing lasers into elements like gold. In fact... (Spoiler:) YOU produce antimatter: Every day, trace amounts of potassium in your body decay and produce positrons (anti-electrons), which annihilate with actual electrons in your body! Incidentally, you shouldn't have read this spoiler if you get scared easily.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
