Antimatter - could it ever be utilized as poss. energy source?

In summary, the amount of energy taken to generate an antimatter particle would always be more than what you would get back by colliding the antimatter generated with a matter particle. However, if we ever find a source of antimatter in the universe, then we could potentially utilize it for power. It will cost a lot of money to produce, so it is only likely to be used for storage or spacecrafts.

And light speed is not acheivable yet..
and most likely will not..
If I read Einstein's work correctly..

You did, the speed of light will never be reached or surpassed, even relative to another velovity. But people will eventually be able to have "warp drive". It sounds like something from Star Trek, lol and it is, but science fiction always has a potential of becoming science fact. Although it would get us places faster than light could, it would still obey Einsteins laws.

It is odd, a lot of stuff, scientifically is actually somthing that was theorized on the original star trek, and the newer next generations...kind weird eh?
acceleration to lightspeed is impossible due to the fact the mass becomes finite, based on the velocity/mass curve..correct?
