I'm trying to find out more about this. I know that when antimatter comes in contact with regular matter, the particles annihilate each other; and, there must be a huge expenditure of energy. I know that one gram of antimatter dropped in a ton of water can propel a spaceship to Pluto in one week (3.7 billion miles).
According to Einstein's work, three grams (about a "penny") when converted to energy (E=Mc2 means matter is stored energy and vice versa) can bring to boil, 320 Olympic size Swimming Pools.
Based on my reading of physics books as a fledgling science fiction writer, I say antimatter is stored in magnetic bottles, sort of like a thermos. The magnetism would keep the particles free from contact and in an orderly spin. The bottle, I imagine, must have a perfect vacuum.
What else can I help you with?
What is an antihydrogen?
An antihydrogen is an atom of the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, or the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen as a collective.
Who is the founder of Antimatter?
The founder of antimatter is considered to be the physicist called Paul Dirac in 1928-1930. He created a mathematical equation which predicted the existence of antiworld made out of antimatter.
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 is the yield in kilotons of two grams of antimatter?
Using E=mc2 2g of antimatter will yield the equivelent of 42.962 kilotons of TNT.
Would an antimatter apple fall up?
No, and antimatter apple would not fall up. It still applies to the same laws of physics, but the only variation is is when it makes connection with it's opposite charge, then the antimatter annihilates both itself and the particles that I connected to.
How can one safely store antimatter?
Antimatter can be safely stored using magnetic fields to contain it and prevent contact with normal matter, which would cause annihilation. Specialized equipment and facilities are required to handle and store antimatter safely.
How is antimatter stored and maintained to prevent annihilation upon contact with matter?
Antimatter is stored in specialized containers that use magnetic fields to keep it away from regular matter. This prevents annihilation, which occurs when antimatter comes into contact with matter, releasing a large amount of energy. The containers are kept in a vacuum to minimize the chance of contact with any particles. Additionally, the containers are cooled to very low temperatures to slow down the movement of the antimatter particles, reducing the likelihood of annihilation.
Can a dragon breathe antimatter?
They can DEFINITELY breathe antimatter
When was Antimatter - band - created?

When was Antimatter - album - created?
Antimatter - album - was created in 1993.
Does antimatter possess negative mass?
No, antimatter does not possess negative mass. Antimatter has the same mass as regular matter, but opposite charge.
What date was antimatter discovered?
Antimatter was discovered in 1928 by Paul Dirac.
What year was antimatter discover?
Antimatter was discovered in 1928 by Paul Dirac.
When was Lights Out - Antimatter album - created?
Lights Out - Antimatter album - was created in 2003.
Is it theoretically possible for there to be sentient beings composed of antimatter?
Absolutely not - Antimatter is a hypothetical form of matter that is as yet unsubstantiated. Answer It's possible but not probable. And antimatter is not hypothetical
When was antimatter created?
antimatter has always been here but nobody knew about it until recently
How many people like the idea of antimatter?
Antimatter is real. Liking or disliking it is irrelevant.
