If you inhale from a balloon of anti-helium, does it makes your voice lower?

Every other Star Trek episode taught us that when matter and anti-matter collide it leads to a big ka-boom of Marvin the Martian style proportions.

Well, with all of that helium the Boeing Starliner is leaking, there was bound to be a couple of antihelium molecules lurking about...

"suggests we know almost nothing about matter and antimatter. there's something we don't quite understand about the balance of primordial matter and antimatter."

"Working backward, the researchers theorize..."

The title is another example of BS...
"Mysterious Antimatter Detection..."
Whether due to editors, or not, this is crap...

Given that helium is a noble gas, I suspect it could get along OK with normal matter.

Nope. Any contact with normal matter causes mutual destruction.............

Ah, but would it not really ever contact being noble? I’m not certain it would but rather be held apart by electrostatic force?

(I have no idea.)

Your head, and everything for a few hundred yards around where your head was.

You would be quite incorrect in that suspicion.

Apparently. I had never really thought about it before.

That said, I doubt it’s ever been tested, so I remain defiantly ignorant and think I might have a chance at being right.
