I far preferred the one that went like, "Apply Kickoffs's circuit law to a chicken coop" or " In a lab at UCLA one ounce of matter and one ounce of anti matter are separated by one cm. At t=0 the magnetic vacuum bottles holding each fail. The sufficient head start would be:

San Diego
Mexico City
Panama City
Calisto
Pluto."


Yeah. One should never lose track of the practical side of physics.

Do you mean neutral antimatter? Anyway, since I assume that this lab
at UCLA, hypothetical though it is, is composed entirely of matter, so
the "one ounce of matter" part (what's an ounce, by the way?) is kind
of irrelevant.

My guess is that Mexico City would be safe, but there'd might be a
pretty high gamma ray flux in the vicinity of San Diego.
