Did you know that the positron is real, it's anti matter.

The positron or antielectron is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron. The positron has an electric charge of +1, a spin of 12, and the same mass as an electron. When a low-energy positron collides with a low-energy electron, annihilation occurs, resulting in the production of two or more gamma ray photons (see electron-positron annihilation). The existence of positrons was first postulated in 1928 by Paul Dirac as a consequence of the Dirac equation.

Some of you may have experienced receiving a positron. It a product of a PET scan which is very special, a more elaborate technique than a CT scan.

I have and that is why I know of the positron.
