Would matter/anti-matter reactions create energy? Would it be safer than nuclear power?

How long until Bodansky claims that some of the antimatter is missing and was sold to Al Qaeda?

It's this process which provides the power source for Starship Enterprise in its film and TV space adventures. All right!! Time to go where no man has gone before!!!

Whoa,
Antimatter energy makes atomic energy look tiny.
The energy released from the collision of Antimatter and matter will be incrdible.
If that were harnessed, just like in Star Trek, the energy potential is beyond imagination.
In 20 years they would be talking about how the saddams of the world are trying to get hold of antimatter bombs, now THAT would be scary!!

"Antimatter is a reverse form of ordinary matter. When the two kinds of matter meet they annihilate each other in an enormous burst of energy"
If only they had discovered "anti-Clinton"

Scientists have announced the first large-scale production of antimatter. A team based at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva say they have developed a large amount of the substance.
In unrelated news, Geneva disappeared in an enormous explosion, with an estimated yield of almost six gigatons. This is 100 times as powerful as the largest nuclear detonation recorded, which was in 1961 off of the island of Novaya Zemlya.
A scientist at FermiLab, in Illinois, was on the telephone with a researcher the CERN lab at the time of the explosion. He states that the last words he heard on the phone before the detonation were "Hey, Hans, HOLD MUH BEER AND WATCH THIS!"

"Antimatter" has a negative and even belligerent connotation. It should be called "Ain'tMatter" or "Doesn'tMatter" or "NotaMatteroffact".

When the two kinds of matter meet they annihilate each other in an enormous burst of energy. And they are containing this antimatter how again?
To: blam
He says it will also help scientists address what happened to the antimatter created in the Big Bang. I personally think the Klingons harnessed all the antimatter. On a more series note, I would be more intersted in whatsdamatter than antimatter ;-)

50,000 atoms of anti-hydrogen Not even enough for each registered FReeper to have one. But when my anti-hydrogen atom arrives via FedEx, I have big plans for it. There is a space reserved for it over the mantlepiece.

The anti-matter's the easy part. Let's see 'em gin up some dilithium crystals.

But seriously, they found Algore's brain?

But it could help scientists answer some of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the universe.So they're going to explain why women go to the restroom in groups?
