Extra Credit

In the book Angels & Demons, science is often represented. For example, there is an element called "anti-matter" and is similar to plasma, since it contains a lot of energy and is very dangerous and volatile. Robert Langdon, the main character, has to find the capsule of anti-matter before it comes into contact with the air, or any form of matter, which would cause a chemical reaction, and will explode; vaporizing everything in a half-mile radius. This would be including solids, liquids, and gases. Not only that, when Langdon has to chase the Illuminati around Vactican City, he becomes trapped in a catacomb that's eroding, and therefore, shows a physical property. Also, Dan Brown writes in the book describing the BoeingX33, a fictional prototype of a jet, with a flat top that had stubby wings. This novel is really interesting and full of action, while relating to science and religion! You should read it!
