I researched a little and found that LHC is not yet operational. LHC, Large Hadron Collider, is depicted to be operational in the book, however it is currently under construction and scheduled to start operation in 2007!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHC for more. In general, Wikipedia is a great source of informations.
So I wonder what is the time frame of Angel & Demons?

Okay, as noted below, I found the claim that protons are antiparticle of electrons hilarious. Same for up-quarks and down-quarks. Electron's counterpart is called positron! What a gross error...

I also wondered about the timeframe, considering that the current pope is still alive. Maybe in a few years?

Perhaps DB should go the Harry Potter route so that I'd feel less like murdering the next person who uses the 'FICTION' quote as a defence for his inadequacies as a researcher/historian/decent novelist..?

huh? Magic wands and evil wizards in a Dan Brown book? Now THAT would be scary.... And we'd finally know Dazzle and Co. are right if that ever happened...

In what sense would Dazzle be "right"?

If you think about it, here's a fascinating concept: becoming member of a forum in order to criticize the person who's forum is inspired to (is that English?? lol). I mean, I don't rate Dan Brown as the most brillant writer of all times, sure, but I did enjoy reading Angels and Demons and the Da Vince Code. I would not be interested in joining a forum of someone I disliked. Here's a therory: maybe Dazzle and co. are blogs/forums edge cases? ;-)
