I wonder if Conway isn't making a little fun of the notion of free
will here, as many scientists today scoff at the idea. I met Conway
once. An interesting experience.

"To measure the abundance of positrons in cosmic rays, the team used
data from the instrument PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter
Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics), which launched aboard a
Russian satellite in June 2006. Unlike previous antimatter-hunting
instruments, PAMELA can pinpoint not just the type of incoming
particle but also its energy."
