Default Positronium Hoax

An electron and its animatter counterpart could not form an atom. They
would immediately anihalate. There are no positronium atom shells.
This is plain stupid.

It's not quite that simple.

Yea positrons don't have shells. That is why positronium is a hoax.

Face it. The entire universe is a hoax. Or possibly a VR simulation
created by a higher civilization. The various Planck units are a by
product of the LSB values of the simulation software.

Mans science is the hoax except for Einstein and you can forget his
Relativity.

Way back it was thought that positrons might have negative mass and
actually be electrons traveling backwards in time. Those ideas were
apparently quietly retired.

Maybe the idea about particles and their antimatter equivalents
annihilating each other is another idea that needs to be retired.
Positronium "atoms" might make Heisenberg turn over in his grave, but
othewise they might behave sorta like "little bitty" really light-
weight neutrons. You'd have to bump them just right to pry their
constituent particles away from one another.
