Matter-Antimatter Science educates people on how antimatter can be used as a natural source of energy to benefit humanity. The updated Periodic Table of Elements contains 218 elements. There are 109 matter and109 antimatter elements. Each antimatter element's nuclear, physical, and chemical properties have been identified to such an extent that scientists know almost as much about antimatter as matter.
When matter and antimatter come together, energy is produce according to Einstein's Theory of mass times the speed of light squared. Antimatter is held in electromagnetic fields and a vacuum to keep matter from coming in contact with the antimatter. Scientists, today, know how to acquire, transfer, store, and process antimatter into energy sources.
- To acquire
antimatter, an unmanned spacecraft are sent into the comet's tail to retrieve
small quantities of antimatter that are blown off the comet's nucleus by the
solar wind and dust.
- To transfer antimatter,
electromagnetic fields move the antimatter into storage
containers.
- To store
antimatter, the storage container consists of electromagnetic fields to hold
the antimatter in place and vacuum to keep the matter from coming in contact
with the antimatter.
- To process antimatter, similar antimatter atoms are collected and made into energy sources. The method is comparable to processing crude oil at refining plants.
What remains is the technology for integrating them together. The economic opportunities will be measured in trillions of dollars. Antimatter will be used as source of energy to bring every country into the 21st century and turn the Star Trek Dream into Reality by providing power to the spacecraft, space facilities, and colonies on the moon, planets, and stars.
