Hi,
As I understand it, if you have a piece of matter (hydrogen) and a piece of antimatter (anti-hydrogen) and they interact with each other they annihilate. What if your matter was Helium and your "antimatter" was anti-hydrogen? or the other way around what if your antimatter was antihelium and your matter was hydrogen. How does that change the annihilation? would annihilation even occur since there elements are different?
Hopefully I am not making a fool of myself, but I don't even know what to google to begin to find those answers.
Thanks,
