Antimatter is formed using particle accelerator which shoot protons at near the speed of light and collide two protons this creates 2 anti protons. it also creates mini black holes although they are of no concern to anyone living on earth. although antimatter is typically seen as a potentially lethal bomb for humanity to gather enough to be effective at this time it would take about 200 years, as we gain maybe 40 anti protons a day, and anti protons are very small particles. however if it comes in contact with matter it has the highest energy conversion rate off about 99.9% to pure energy, to give you an idea the average nuclear bomb is about 32%.

When energy gets to a certain level, it creates a particle and an antiparticle, and this process is called pair production
Mr_Adams:
E is energy and M is mass, but the surprise (and explanation behind the existence and creation of antimatter) is C is not a variable, it is a constant: the speed of light in a vacuum. Now, C is a constant, which means that Einstein was claiming that Mass WAS Energy, and vice versa, which shocked the scientific world. So, let's consider what we think we know about matter and energy up until this point, that this tells us is wrong. First, conservation of mass. Second, conservation of energy. Well, if Energy is mass, and mass is energy, we should be able to shift them back and forth between each other. there goes those conservation laws. but, it leaves us with something new: the possibility of negative matter. Now, if we take an electron and a positron (anti-electro), we get a massive amount of gamma radiation (pure energy). So, logically, with enough energy, we should be able to acquire anti particles. In the laboratory, the method used is focusing massive amounts of gamma radiation through the nucleus of an atom. what we are left with is a particle, and it's corresponding anti particle. This is the process of pair production. If these two particles were to collide, they would annihilate each other, and leave behind the previously mentioned gamma radiation. To solve this problem, a penning trap is used. it only works for charged particles, but it works by surrounding a particle with electro magnets of similar charge. because similar charges repel each other, the anti-matter particles are suspended without touching any matter. There are few uses for anti-matter, however a form of medical scanning device called PET scan is currently used to observe the movements of fluids within the body.

it is created by two atom a atom and its brother crash together and recombine to make antimatter

∙ 13y agoenergy and mass are interchangeable e=mc2 however in such reaction Barron on lepton numbers must be conserved so antimatter must be created in one form or another.

Is uranium an example of lepton?
1. Uranium is an example of an actinoid; also uranium is a solid metal, radioactive, a natural chemical element. 2. Leptons are elementary particles with a very small mass as: electrons, neutrinos and the corresponding antiparticles.
Subatomic particles that carry single electrical charges are?
In a unit of a proton's charge (1.602×10−19 coulombs), there are leptons (such as an electron) and their antiparticles, with a charge of -1 and +1, respectively, and charged baryon (such as a proton) and their antiparticles. Not all baryons have an electric charge; some are neutral, such as the neutron, and others have a charge of +2. For example, the Δ++ (delta plus-plus) particle has a charge of +2. This is because all baryons are composed of particles called quarks, which are never found in isolation. There are a total of six quarks; three have a charge of +2/3 and three have a charge of -1/3 with respect to a proton's charge.
Are h2 molecules created or destroyed?
no, refer to the law conservation of mass: in a chemical reaction, energy can niether be created nor destroyed.Answer:Hydrogen can be changed to helium in fusion processes with an associate release of energy. This effectively destroys or removes the hydrogen and converts it to something else.Hydrogen atoms can also be converted to energy (destroyed) through contact with anti matter particles.As far as hydrogen creation this was an event occurring shortly after the Big bang. Elementary particles (quarks) begin to bond in trios, forming photons, positrons and netrinos and their antiparticles. After about one hundredth of a second hydrogen started to form.Hydrogen can also be created when the atoms of fissionable materials split

Were protons and neutrons in existence immediately after big bang?
We weren't there; NOBODY was. There was nothing at the moment of the Big Bang, and we cannot be certain of what came into existence or when in the seconds, minutes or hours following the event. So, "immediately"? We believe - based entirely on poorly-understood mathematical theories for which no practical test is possible - that "matter", in the sense of protons, neutrons, electrons, and their corresponding antiparticles, probably did come into existence within a few seconds of the event.
What is an antiatom?
An antiatom is an atom composed of antiparticles.
What are some antonyms for subatomic particles?
You probable think to antiparticles as antiproton, antineutron, positron.
Is there any proof that antimatter exists?
Yes. Antiparticles are regularly produced and observed in particle accelerators.
Eletron have what kind of charge?
Electrons are always negatively charged (-1 charge) Antiparticles of electrons, called positrons, have a positive (+1) charge.
Are neutrinos their own antiparticles?
Answer 1There are three different types of neutrinos. Each one is associated with its own antiparticle, but is not an antiparticle itself. Answer 2Particle and antiparticle are distinguished by their charges. The positron, for example, the antiparticle of the negatively charged electron, is positively charged. The neutrino, on the other hand, is electrically neutral-the prerequisite for the ability of being its own antiparticle. However, I assume that the antiparticles of neutrinos are neutrinos with opposite spinning direction.

Does antimatter have a nucleus?
Antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. Consider that atoms are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. An antimatter atom could be composed of anti-protons, anti-neutrons and anti-electrons (which we know as positrons).

Can a virtual black hole absorb antimatter?
A virtual black hole would probably not exist long, so it won't have much time to absorb anything. Other than that, I don't see any reason why it should make a difference between particles and antiparticles.

How do you create something out of nothing?
There are several possible answers to your question:The Big Bang, according to cosmologists, created everything out of nothing.Space itself is believed to spontaneously generate virtual particles and antiparticles which immediately cancel each other out. But in the vicinity of a black hole, a pair of such particles forming at just the right (wrong?) distance might have half the set captured by the black hole's intense gravity, allowing its partner to stream away as a fully-formed something.The cipher (the number 0, zero) is literally something that stands for nothing.E=mc2 shows that matter can in a sense be 'created' from energy. It's not really something out of nothing, unless you carefully redefine 'something' to mean 'an object'.
