Question about radiation and matter
Is it true that when I'll make matter from enough radiation power, anti-matter will be formed automatically?

I don't understand the process you are describing.
However, in general, there are processes called pair production, where under the right circumstances a high energy photon gets converted into a matter anti-matter pair. The simplest example is a photon (gamma ray) with energy > 1.022 Mev (in the presence of a nucleus - momentum conservation) will become an electron positron pair. |
