Can there exist unbreakable materials that can only be broken with use of antimatter of the same type?

There are currently some really hard, tough and strong materials out there, but we have ways of damaging or breaking them without the use of antimatter. It is possible that something of a "science fictional" nature could be envisioned, but in reality, not as far as we've been able to find.

Does antimatter still exist?
Yes!
Why is antimatter so powerful?
its hypothetical, it shouldn't exist...
How can we get anti matteris there exist in a universe?
One has to go to far-away galaxies to get hold antimatter particles
Why is there not nearly as much antimatter than matter?
There are no definite answers with our current level of understanding of antimatter at this point but scientists believe that this is the result of an imbalance in the production of matter and antimatter particles in the early universe. Another explanation for this phenomenon is that Antimatter may exist in relatively large amounts in far away galaxies due to inflation in the primordial time of the universe
Does the universe contain antimatter?
Yes, the universe does contain antimatter, which does naturally occur, although in quantities much smaller than matter. The very slight bias of physical law in our universe towards towards matter instead of antimatter is a subject of ongoing research; some calculations indicate that for every hundred billion particles of antimatter created from the energy of the Big Bang there were roughly a hundred billion "plus one" particles of matter - the balance eventually annihilating each other during collisions, resulting in a universe almost entirely of normal matter. Regions of space currently rich in antimatter have been searched for without success to date. Very tiny amounts of light antimatter particles do exist in cosmic rays; radioactive materials can spontaneously produce antimatter particles when they decay; and it can be produced in particle accelerators.
Why do you live in a universe that is made of matter rather than antimatter?
This is not currently known. There does exist some asymmetry between matter and antimatter - meaning that they are not exact opposites in all aspects - but this asymmetry is not enough to explain why matter exists.
Is a scientific hypothesis an absolutely unbreakable law of physics?
No. A hypothesis is a proposed statement in science. When a hypothesis is constantly proven and accepted by the scientific community, it becomes known as a theory. Even a theory is not a LAW of physics. The only laws that exist in science are those that can be proven through math. While unbreakable laws of physics exist, if it cannot be mathematically proven, a scientific hypothesis is not an unbreakable law of physics.
Is antimatter real?
Yes it is. This does not mean that it has the properties ascribed to it in any particular work of fiction (Star Trek's version is reasonably realistic, Green Lantern's version is hopelessly silly), but yes, something by that name does really exist. ************************************************************************* Antimatter is real. Some scientists believe that antimatter is a perfect symmetry to matter. Antimatter is very dangerous and powerful. When matter and antimatter collide, an annihilation happens. Things around it will disappear.
Why is there far more matter than antimatter in the visible universe?
It may have to do with the way the universe was created. Certainly if there was a lot of antimatter created, much of it may well have come in contact with matter through the billions of years the universe has existed. That would have resulted in the conversion of that antimatter (along with a like amount of matter) into energy. There may not have been much antimatter around to begin with, too. But, since the amount of visible matter represents less matter than has been calculated to exist in the uinverse, it may be that there is a good bit of antimatter out there somewhere. Not likely, but possible.
What is the goal CERN?
By recreating Big Bang conditions, scientists at CERN trie to answer following questions:Why is there no-more antimatter left, although both, matter and antimatter were resulting from the Big Bang in equal parts and thus, should've annihilate themselves?Why do particles have mass? What is mass? Is the origin of mass the Higgs-boson?Does dark matter exist? What is dark matter?Do extra dimensions exist?

Is there proof that antimatter exist?
yes, positrons were discovered in experiments in the 1930s just like theory had predicted. many other anti-particles have been discovered since.
