Current physical theory tends to indicate there should be a symmetry expressed in the form of a parity between matter and antimatter created in the Big Bang, with no preference for matter over antimatter; this explosion should have created equal amounts of both, which would then annihilate each other. However, the universe tends to be dominated so far as we can tell by matter and no significant regions of antimatter have yet been detected. This would indicate an asymmetry or bias in favor of matter's creation, which is somewhat mysterious and remains a subject of research. In any case, this bias of matter over antimatter is believed to be extremely small - such that it may have been for every billion particles of antimatter created, there were a billion and one particles of matter.

If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?
Initially the 9g of remaining matter would survive. Each particle of antimatter can only annihilate with one other particle of antimatter. At this point the 1g of antimatter would cause an explosion equivalent to that of 200000 pounds of TNT. Causing both groups of matter and antimatter to be obliterated.
What are the effects of a antimatter plus matter explosion in vacuum?
Exactly the same as outside, but the debris would travel farther because there is no resistance in the vacuum. Outside the vacuum the explosion would happen instantaneously once the anti-particles collided with oxygen.
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.
Can you use liquid nitrogen to freeze antimatter?
Most antimatter exists as subatomic particles produced either in radioactive decay or large particle accelerators. No significant quantities have been made and the only antimatter atoms ever produced have been antihydrogen. Any antimatter that came in contact with liquid nitrogen would annihilate both itself and part of a nitrogen atom, releasing energy that would heat the remaining liquid nitrogen. If you could somehow produce a quantity of antimatter equal the the amount of liquid nitrogen, when they came in contact instead of cooling the antimatter there would be total annihilation of both materials resulting in an explosion on the order of teratons of TNT equivalent as the temperature of the products jumped to hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin to billions of degrees kelvin!!!!!
What is an antihydrogen?
An antihydrogen is an atom of the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, or the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen as a collective.
What is produced when a particle of a matter and a particle of antimatter colide?
A tremendous release of energy in the form of an explosion.
If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?

If an astronaut landed on a planet made of antimatter there would be an explosion and what?
The matter of the astronaut causes the antimatter to anhilate each other, creating energy close to the energy produced by the equation E=mc2.
What is the most explosive substance ever?
An explosion generated by antimatter is four times more powerful then a nuclear bomb
Is it true that by touching antimatter man converts into antimatter?
No. If ordinary matter touches antimatter both are annihilated and turned into pure energy. The amount of energy released would be enormous. Using Einstein's E=mc2 we find that contact with even a few grams of antimatter would generate an explosion comparable in magnitude to the detonation of an atomic bomb.
If an astronaut landed on a planet made of antimatter there would be an explosion as both the astronaut and?
The amount of planet matter equal to that of the astronaut would annihilate.
At what temperature does antimatter form?
It isn't a matter of temperature. It is created in high-speed collisions like those observed in the hadron particle collider. Antimatter is naturally occurring. It has only been created in minute amounts and costs a fortune. One kilogram of antimatter would create an explosion with the power of a 20 megaton nuclear bomb.
What anti-matter will do to us?
When antimatter meets normal matter, it will disintegrate. For example, a proton and an antiproton will mutually destroy, producing high-energy photons - they convert to "pure energy". A few grams of antimatter would cause an explosion comparable to an atomic bomb.
What are the effects of a antimatter plus matter explosion in vacuum?
Exactly the same as outside, but the debris would travel farther because there is no resistance in the vacuum. Outside the vacuum the explosion would happen instantaneously once the anti-particles collided with oxygen.
Can a dragon breathe antimatter?
They can DEFINITELY breathe antimatter
When was Antimatter - band - created?
Antimatter - band - was created in 1998.
When was Antimatter - album - created?
Antimatter - album - was created in 1993.
