@coryman You are right. Antimatter is matter but with the charge of the particles inverted. Instead of a negative electron it is made of positive positrons, and negative protons. When it "touches" matter, they anihilate each other and create a large amount of energy, based on the mass of the products. And the dark matter is somethig totally different, teorized to explain the rotation of the galaxies.
@Reyhan No offense, but source? I've heard it does release energy is all, I'd like to learn more. @MrBurgerMans I believe dark matter is more a concept that explains a phenomenon with gravity not acting as it should on a large scale, and if it does exist, it's undetectable
coryman, i THINK your talking about dark matter, which i BELEIVE is like you described, and antimatter is the exact opisite of matter.
Though the antimatter is negitive energy in relation to the positive, canceling them out
TL;DR: matter can turn to energy based on mass, antimatter has positive mass, therefore the energy doesn't cancel
@Azhaan I could be wrong, but as stated by Einstein, E=mc^2, meaning there's a direct link between mass and energy. Since antimatter has positive mass, it becomes positive energy, therefore both the matter and antimatter are turned into energy, often released in the form of light
For the inacuacy I say -1, sorry :P
No, antimatter acts like positives and negitives, no energy is realesed in the contact between the two, via explosion because the cancel each other out, like addinf 1 and -1, you get Zero, PT has an almost accuate representation, thogh the only thing inacurate is that it should destroy the same amount of particles that it was.
