In dollars and cents, the minimum wage has only gone up, but in purchasing power it's had its ups and downs. See when it went up and since when it's gone down.

This is real physics, not a comic book storyline: every type of particle has an anti-particle that is its mirror image. But why is there so much more matter than anti-matter?
