i have this simple and easy Q
is the antimatter bomb real or fiction
i will say fiction But...:(

CERN started making and using an antiproton beam many years ago, but they turned if off as soon as they realized that the antimatter production rate at Fermilab was much higher, and also that the Tevatron collision energies were much higher.maverick_starstrider said:... I imagine a customized "antimatter producing facility" could generate and store [antimatter] much better than CERN but it would still take millions of years to accumulate enough to make a bomb that was simply EQUALLY as powerful as a nuke.
Is that a question or a statement?kasun bandara said:protons and positrton ?
An antimatter bomb is a theoretical weapon that uses antimatter as its source of energy. Antimatter is the opposite of regular matter, and when it comes into contact with matter, both are annihilated, releasing a large amount of energy.
Currently, an antimatter bomb is still a theoretical concept and has not been created or tested. However, scientists have been able to produce small amounts of antimatter in controlled environments, so the possibility of creating an antimatter bomb in the future cannot be completely ruled out.
An antimatter bomb has the potential to be incredibly powerful. The energy released from the annihilation of just one gram of antimatter with one gram of matter would be equal to the energy released from the explosion of 43 kilotons of TNT.
If an antimatter bomb were to be created, it could potentially be used as a powerful weapon in warfare. However, it could also have other applications, such as providing a clean and efficient source of energy for space travel.
There are several challenges in creating an antimatter bomb. The first is producing and storing enough antimatter to create a significant explosion. Another challenge is containing the energy released from the explosion, as it would likely be difficult to control and could cause significant damage. Additionally, the cost of producing and storing antimatter is currently very high, making it an impractical weapon at this time.
