An antiproton was a subatomic particle of antimatter, a particle with a mass equivalent to a proton, but with a negative charge. Antiprotons were first discovered on Earth in 1953 at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] The Doomsday Machine fired beams of coherent antiprotons in order to break apart planets for consumption as fuel, as well as for use as a weapon.[2]
