Making Antibubbles in Beer from Belgium

Posted by Hemos on from the useful-stuff-beer dept.

An anonymous reader writes "About.com reports on "Antibubbles in beer from Belgium". Scientists in Belgium have studied the movement of antibubbles (the exact opposite of regular bubbles) in Flemish beer. They found that the beer was very similar, but not the same as, dishwater. You can also learn how to make antibubbles in your kitchen from soapy water."

    Will they explode when the come together?

    But what happens if a bubble and an Anti-bubble collide? Does the resulting reaction result in the total annihilation of your beer?

    Could the chain reaction cascade into other beers?

    The results would be just too horrific to contemplate.

    Contrary to the subtle implications of the slashdot write-up, the article didn't suggest that beer with an antibubble in it tasts like dishwater. It only states that both beer and dishwater can have antibubbles in them. I assume it still tasts like beer.
