My example: Practical applications of anti-matter!
A friend of mine, who I'll say kindly is not entirely grounded in reality but is frightfully intelligent, referred to a medical positron imager and I thought they were full of crap! Antimatter is sci-fi stuff, surely in real life it's just transient particles that experimental physicists manage to prove existed for a few moments in order to impress other experimental physicists.
So I looked it up--I was mistaken. You can actually do stuff with it now.
