What is Antimatter?

Antimatter can be thought of as the opposite of matter, or matter that has properties to opposite or contra-positive of the normal steady state.  In a simplistic fashion, antimatter can have anti-protons that have the same mass as a proton but the charge of an electron, anti-neutrons: neutrons that have no charge but an opposite or out of phase wave associated with it, and anti-electrons which have the same mass as electrons but a positive charge. In a more real and concrete interpretation, antimatter has the same properties as matter but in a 180 degree out of phase wave nature associated with it.  For example, an anti-electron will have the same mass and charge as an electron but an opposite wave function.   It may happen that, an antimatter particle, colliding with a matter particle will annihilate and release energy in the electromagnetic spectrum equivalent to the equation energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.  A gram of hydrogen annihilating another gram of anti-hydrogen could be said to liberate approximately ten to the ninth power joules of energy in a microsecond burst.  This amount of energy released per unit time is astounding and may be used for producing work because of its magnitude.

Physics of antimatter annihilation

An antiparticle of given mass can annihilate another particle of matter of the same atomic weight.  To use dissimilar particles of mass and anti-mass results in an equivalent of a fissile.  Using like particles of anti-matter and matter brings wave functions that are 180 degrees out of phase into proximity for capture and annihilation. Bringing mass a1 and antimass a2 together in a magnetic field long enough, annihilation will occur.   The reaction of plutonium fission can be likened in a tangential way to reacting antimatter with matter in the sense that the two components of the reaction must be held together for a minimum amount of time for the reaction to ensue or the elements will quickly separate and the reaction quench. In a fission bomb, plutonium wedges must be held together to initiate a chain reaction. In annihilation, two particles of matter, anti and real must be collided and maintained in union for annihilation to proceed.  In a fusion reaction the constituents must be held together in a relativistic environment or the constituents may separate and the reaction fails.  In nuclear physics all reactions must be brought to relativistic state for the event to proceed.  This is because, nuclear reactions only occur under very special circumstances.  

Antimatter can be contained in a near vacuum within a magnetic field as long as matter opposite to the atomic number of the antimatter is not brought into proximity.  Two like but opposite particles of matter share the same mathematical but opposite properties making equivalence real.   For example: an atom of hydrogen antimatter under real conditions will not normally react with an iron atom because of the dissimilarity of mass and the shielding of the nucleus by barrier particles.  These will only react at relativistic conditions found only in nature at the center of a sun or neutron star.  This is the big bang of a dying star.

Production of antimatter

Antimatter can be produced on earth by spinning particles or atoms in a tokomak until the particles change nature at the speed of light.  Matter spun in a circle at the speed of light eventually changes character and can be siphoned off with magnets and contained in a vacuum.

On chemical scale, reactions are either exothermic or endothermic and have an activation plateau to achieve for initiation.  On a nuclear level, the constituents much be brought to a relativistic state before the reaction can proceed.    A relativistic state happens when matter is brought to the speed of light. A relativistic state occurs when transuranic elements are brought in high concentrations in close proximity.  The combined mass is inherently unstable and the atom fissions at the speed of light.    In a relativistic environment, matter can change into energy and back again as the wave function is similar.  Accelerating mass to the speed of iight produces relativity when matter is accelerated in a circle in a powerful magnetic field.  This is because anything moving in a circle at near the speed of light becomes the speed of light due to the linear velocity of an object revolving in a circle.  VSub *t   = AsubR / radius.  

Passing energy through various crystal lattices changes the frequency of the energy in the electromagnetic spectrum

Uses of Antimatter

At present no way exists to realize the great amount of energy liberated in a microsecond by the reaction of antimatter.  It may be possible to store antimatter in an evacuated bottle in a magnetic field.  It might be found that antimatter can coexist with matter as long as the two are not brought to a relativistic state.  In fission reaction unstable matter disintegrates into more stable forms with the release of energy.  A fusion condition will extinguish when the relativistic environment no longer exists.  Antimatter reactions progress to complete annihilation under the proper conditions.    Antimatter energy will power starships to different galaxies and fuel huge and create awesome lasers and particle weapons.  The harnessing of antimatter energy will provide the means to transgress time and the warp as envisioned by Albert Einstein.  Energy can be converted to specific forms such as gravity waves and the essence of time itself.

On a positive note

The universal field equation may become a plausible reality
