"Startrek" warp core
Hello,
The "Startrek" warp core works on the real physical phenomenon of matter collides with antimatter and energy is created.
But as I was taught, a collision between an electron and a positron will produce two, very energetic, gamma-photons. how can anyone use (nowadays) these gamma rays? If this energy was usable, wouldn't they make some use of that in nuclear reactors instead of blocking it behind thick lead walls?
