Anti matter does NOT exist. As soon as it is in contact with matter which is anything ; solid , liquid , gas, they are both annihilated.

You can think of antimatter as protons with a negative charge and electrons with as positive charge.

So

Proton^+ Proton^- = Annihilation (??? Energy)

Electron ^- + electron^+(positron) = Annihilation (???? Energy).

ive heard about this before...but im not sure if its right

Matter is just highly concetrated forms of energy, basically. There is enough energy inside 1 gram of matter to boil the earths oceasn...yes you heard correct...boil. When you combine antimatter and matter, they both trigger the release of their energy. sort of like a key in a lock to open something. that something is energy. So...in saying that, if one gram of matter released all its energy...it would be enough to power cities for quite some time. All we need to do now is find some antimatter! This is the quest scientists are undertaking as we speak. Finding pure antimatter could solve the worlds energy problems forever! one gram of antimatter annihilating with one gram of matter produces 180 terajoules, the equivalent of 43 kilotons of TNT. This means with just 1.16 kg of antimatter, you could make a bomb as powerful as the Tsar bomb which is the the world's most powerful nuclear bomb (50 megatons)

Well now, I think according to the formula you are only off by a factor of 10179751035747365280 J) for a Total Nuclear Yield of 42,960.152862 Kilotons of TNT (Closer to 43KT Rounded-off.)

How much does one gram of antimatter?

Anti matter does NOT exist. As soon as it is in contact with matter which is anything ; solid , liquid , gas, they are both annihilated. You can think of antimatter as protons with a negative charge and electrons with as positive charge. So Proton^+ Proton^- = Annihilation (??? Energy) Electron ^- + electron^+(positron) = Annihilation (???? Energy).


What is the efficiency of antimatter?

As much as 50% of energy produced in reactions between nucleons and antinucleons is carried away by neutrinos in these applications. It is theoretically possible to retain as much as 100% of the energy in an Antimatter reaction.

What is origin of antimatter?

The origin of antimatter on earth today is the Hadron-collider at CERN in Switzerland. There they have a large ring (several kilometers in diameter) that they use to study and discover small, new particles to learn more about how our Universe was created and what happened during the Big Bang. At CERN, they send protons in each direction in the ring with very high speed. They then collide, and then some antimatter is produced from the destroyed protons. The amount of antimatter produced, however, is a very small amount, and it will take millions of years before we get even 1 gram of antimatter! However, in the early Universe, very shortly after the Big Bang, there were extremely high amounts of antimatter. At that time, there were equally amounts of matter and antimatter (roughly 50% of each). There was, however, a small imbalance between them. For every 100 million antiparticles there were, there were 101 million particles. As you probably know, matter and antimatter have opposite charges, spin, color charges etc. If they touch each other, they get annihilated in a shower of pure energy. Albert Einstein figured out that there was much energy in matter, relating to his well known formula E= mc2. That's very high amounts of energy! If you had transformed 1 gram of matter into energy, you would have enough energy to power your house for 1 year. We're talking about lots of energy here! The superpowers used Einstein's formula to create fission bombs (atom bombs), and fusion bombs (hydrogen bombs). These converted only a small amount of matter into energy. If there had existed an antimatter bomb, all of the antimatter would have reacted to matter, thus converting all of the antimatter and the matter that reacted with it to energy. While an atom bomb only has an efficiency of 0,01%, a hydrogen bomb would have an efficiency of 1%. An antimatter bomb would have an efficiency of 100%!


What releases twice as much energy than carbohydrates?

Gram for gram, lipids release twice as much energy as carbohydrates do.


What could antimatter be used for?

In theory, antimatter could be used as an extremely concentrated form of fuel, to run power plants, to propel rockets, or anything else that requires fuel. However, it is extremely difficult to store, requiring special magnetic containment since any contact with matter causes a big explosion. Unless some efficient solution is found for the storage problem, I doubt that antimatter will ever be used for much other than research into subatomic physics.


How much energy provided in gram of carbohydrates?

There are approximatley 4Kcal (calories) of energy per gram of carbohydrates.. This is the same in proteins, but 9Kcal of energy are produced in a gram of fat Hope that answers your question :)


How much is anti matter?

Antimatter is the most expensive substance in the world with a price of $2.5million per gram. It costs up to $62.5 TRILLION as anti hydrogen


How much antimatter have humans ever made?

We have created 20 nanograms of antimatter. To get you on track, one nanogram is a billionth of a gram. Antimatter is very hard to make, so far only a very small quantity has ever been produced; much less than a milligram has ever been produced and yes there is a way to store it. It's called the penning trap. The penning trap is a container in extreme vacuum and magnetic fields. This is to prevent the antimatter from touching air, since air is made of matter.


Is antimatter a possible energy solution?

Yes and no. In order for a technology to perform well as an alternative energy solution, it has to yield much more energy than is expended in producing that form of energy. Plus, it has to be somewhat readily attainable, given our existing state of technological advancement. In the case of matter-antimatter reactions (such as proton-antiproton collisions), 100% of the matter from both matter and antimatter forms combines to convert to pure energy. So, it seems very promising as, not only an abundant source of energy, but also a clean one. However, currently, it takes a great amount of energy to create antimatter (in particle accelerators) and to try to contain it. Separating, channeling, and containing antimatter is another difficult task. As antiparticles are created, we need a means of quickly separating them from regular matter and then containing them in a "magnetic bottle" (a container that generates a magnetic field so as to trap the antimatter in a partial vacuum, so as to prevent it from escaping to react with standard matter). So, while we may discover a means of stockpiling antimatter in the future to be used as a clean, abundant energy source, we do not have that ability at the present time.


What do Antimatter bombs do?

Well, although I don't think they have managed to construct one yet, i do know what they are intending to do... this bomb contains a sealed container with no matter inside, just anti matter inside a vacuum, the antimatter hovers above an electronic flow of energy so the antimatter doesn't fall and hit one of the walls of the container. keep in mind the antimatter is a small speck, now, when the bomb is set to go off, this electron flow stops and the antimatter is let to fall to the bottom of the container where in comes in contact with matter, they go through a process called annihilation where the both matters convert into a mass amount of energy, which is the deadly huge radiant explosion that will occur. The effect would be similar to an atomic bomb put the explosion would be much larger for the amount of material and there would be little to no radioactive fallout. Such a device would release more than three times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb for each gram of antimatter present.
