What happens when matter and antimatter collide?
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.
What happens during a matter-antimatter reaction?
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.
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.
What does antimatter look like and how does it differ from regular matter?
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.
Somebody told your friend that if an antimatter alien ever set foot upon the Earth the whole world would explode into pure radiant energy?
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.

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".
What is a thing that's not made up of matter?
antimatter and dark matter

If matter and antimatter collide will it kill us as human?
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.
Why matter overcome antimatter?
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.
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.

What is the charge of a neutron in antimatter?
A neutron is still of neutral charge (no charge). Antimatter can be thought of as protons having a negative charge and electrons having a positive charge. If matter and anti-matter collide they annihilate one another, but neutrons remain.
Why the antimatter disappear in universe?
When antimatter comes into contact with matter, they annihilate each other.
