Yes, it would be different. Antimatter is in a way the opposite of matter, but it is not the exact opposite. There are slight differences - and that is somehow the reason why we have significant amounts of matter, and not of antimatter, in the first place - though the exact details are not well-known yet (you can find out more details in the Wikipedia article on "Baryogenesis").

Can elements be made out of antimatter?

Yes. Antimatter is only a point of view concept : we can imagine any object made of what we call antimatter. According to his point of view, we would be made of antimatter. Moreover, a number of large areas of the universe, that doesn't have any contact with each other, may be made of antimatter. we wouldn't have any mean to know from where we are.


How come the universe is made of matter and not antimatter?

That is not currently known. There is a slight assymetry between matter and antimatter, but so far, it seems that this assymetry is not enough to explain why there is only matter, and hardly any antimatter, in the Universe. Without such an assymetry, there wouldn't be either matter or antimatter in the Universe - just radiation. For more information about what is known, and what isn't, check the Wikipedia article on "Baryon asymmetry".


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.


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.


What is the oppostite of anti-methane?

Since anti-methane is made of antimatter, its opposite would be methane, the compound made of normal matter.


Would an antimatter bomb be more powerful than a nuke?

If such a device could be made, it would be a lot more powerful than a nuke of similar size, as ALL the mass of the antimatter and neutralising matter would be anhialated and turned to energy, instead of a small fraction of total mass of uranium, plutonium etc. Currently not a real threat to the world as antimatter is extremely expensive to produce and the total amount manufactured to date would only power a 60 watt light bulb for a few hours, and cost $ billions to produce. Ds1ao: with on gram of antimatter you can make a 43 kiloton bomb (more than three times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima


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.


What is the meaning of fall up alike Does antimatter fall up?

It means that the possibility is considered that Earth's gravity (for example) would push such antimatter up, instead of down; thus, an object made of antimatter, if initially at rest, would move away from Earth, faster and faster. This is a possibility that is being considered; it doesn't seem very likely, though.

Is there anything not made out of matter?

Yes, antimatter - as was recently produced at CERN.


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!!!!!
