...built, a body's inertial mass (resistance to a push) is the same in a given gravitational field as its gravitational mass (weight). Morrison and Gold admit that every experiment tried so far has shown the two kinds of mass to be precisely equivalent, but they think the apparatus used may have been biased in favor of equivalence. Anti-matter,* they point out, is just as respectable as ordinary matter, but none of it exists in physical laboratories, or in the solar system, or even in the Milky Way galaxy. Since it turns into a flash of energy when...

When the lathe's tool cut into the metal, there was something like an explosion. Compressed gas in the canister blew...
