Wikipedia: Antiparticle: The laws of nature are very nearly symmetrical with respect to particles and antiparticles. For example, an antiproton and an antielectron can form an antihydrogen atom, which has almost exactly the same properties as a hydrogen atom. A physicist whose body was made of antimatter, doing experiments in a laboratory also made of antimatter, would find almost exactly the same results in all experiments.

“Jean Luc Picard used an English language DSL to talk to his food dispenser. It worked every time. But, in the real world, you know that the first time someone said “Earl Gray, hot” to this magic box, they’d be surprised when a naked English peer covered in baby oil popped out.”
