Apparently the big collider will not be back in operation until late this year, but Hollywood has been busy making a film about it. A conspiracy film staring Tom Hanks to steal antimatter from CERN and to use it blow up the Holy City in Rome.

Holy Antimatter!

Unless they've really, really messed up the story, Hanks's character is the good guy, trying to prevent the Vatican from being blown up.

Only if you carry it in your 1 quart plastic bag, and you divide it into several 3 ounce bottles.

Hehe, right on!

Now I wonder how much antimatter it would take to theoretically blow up the Vatican? Maybe it's just the size of pinhead?

Iron antimatter the size of a pinhead would do. You would have to suspend it in an absolute vacuum with a magentic field. If it reacts with matter, it would create twice the energy predicted by Einstein's famous formula.
