God created the world in opposites. Day and night, light and dark, matter… and antimatter which means antimatter is the opposite of matter. It is what powers the sun and might be used to power spaceships (like in Star Trek) and a full city.
Antimatter is identical to normal matter except that their electric charges are opposite to the ones you find in matter. Antimatter can be used as a really powerful fuel: Ten milligrams of antimatter has as much energy as two hundred metric tons of conventional rocket fuel, which is enough to power Auckland for one whole day.
Antimatter is eco friendly and 100% efficient, a very sustainable product. It has no byproducts, radiation nor pollution. If the planet switched to using antimatter instead of burning fossil fuels, global warming might cease.
However, antimatter is highly unstable. If it comes in contact with any sort of matter, they both will just disappear, causing an explosion which is called annihilation. A full gram can probably bring the whole of Auckland down, about the same amount of damage done as the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima, so to keep antimatter, you need special traps that have magnetic fields in them, to keep it in the very centre of the trap, and it has to have vacuum in them or the antimatter is in contact with air (air is matter too). That is how it can be used as power.
When antimatter annihilates, it releases and gives off pure energy. The energy source is called photons which is really a flash of light which means that the matter and antimatter disappear in a flash of light. The motor can contain an annihilation tank which contains liquid antimatter and rubbish. A tiny droplet can be dropped onto the rubbish which causes annihilation and the energy can be used. A very eco friendly way to get rid of rubbish!
Therefore antimatter can be used as a really powerful weapon of destruction. Not only has it got the power of an atomic bomb, it also has nothing anyone can trace and track down.
Therefore now one question still remains. Will the greatest power source known to man save the world or will it be used as the most deadly weapon ever?

whatever antimatter cant do that it powers the stars but not spaceships you can tell from this equation 3n^ak+1/5=30akn. the k can only be powered when C^2 =6n and that is impossible.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never knew antimatter is that useful
ReplyDeleteDid you put a space after the full stop?
ReplyDeleteTry not to use the same words all the time
ReplyDeleteIs anything that explosive? I doubt it.
ReplyDeletei agree with the top comment. 3n^ak+1/5=30akn. that equation can tell. maybe you should back up your writing a little more and it was very long. but it went over a lot of detail so good job .(:
