Why don't we just make a warp drive? Or a good tasting Pot-o'-Noodles?

We can. It's produced at CERN all the time.

That doesn't really mean anything as a sentence.

Sure? That's got nothing to do with antimatter though.

Because you're incredibly stoned? It doesn't make much sense in terms of the actual physics.

"Spin" in particle physics isn't actually the particle spinning. Its just a name for a measure of angular momentum.
>why don’t we flip an antimatter particle?
Not sure what you mean by "flip". If you mean measure the spin, we can. A positron is an antimatter particle, and we can measure their spin.
>you’re probably not fun at parties
Why bother asking the question if you don't want / can't deal with a serious answer?

Yeah, I tried to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after a particularly gnarly dab.
