When matter and antimatter collide, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays and other particles. This process is called annihilation.
During a matter-antimatter reaction, particles of matter and antimatter collide and annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays and other particles.
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.
When antimatter touches matter, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. This process is called annihilation.
If you were to touch antimatter, it would result in a violent and explosive reaction, releasing a large amount of energy. This is because when antimatter comes into contact with regular matter, they annihilate each other, converting their mass into energy.
They annihilate each other, releasing a relatively large quantity of energy, which can be calculated using the formula e=mc2, where e is the released energy in joules, m is the mass of the particles in kilograms, and c is the speed of light in metres per second

A collision.
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".
Just the same as if normal matter falls in. The matter or antimatter will stay there, increasing the mass of the black hole (and making it more "hungry", i.e., making its gravity stronger).

One of Albert Einstein's discoveries was that matter and energy are the same basic stuff, and that we can turn matter into energy. The formula is e=mc2, so that the amount of energy can be calculated by multiplying the mass times the speed of light (represented by "c") squared. "c" is a very large number, and squaring it makes it enormous. When matter and antimatter collide, they annihilate each other, turning their total mass into energy according to e=mc2. If a speck of antimatter the size of a grain of sand were to hit the Earth, the resulting explosion would be bigger than the biggest H-bomb in the world.
That is one of the unsolved problems in cosmology. There seems to be a slight difference between matter and antimatter, that is, the symmetry between matter and antimatter is not perfect. But the details of baryogenesis are not known yet.

Antimatter is a type of matter that is the opposite of regular matter, with particles that have opposite charges. When antimatter comes into contact with regular matter, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays. Antimatter does not have a specific appearance, as it is not visible to the naked eye.
That statement is not scientifically accurate. While antimatter does have the potential to release a large amount of energy upon contact with matter, it would not cause the entire world to explode. Such an event is purely speculative and not based on any scientific evidence.
