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.
 
That's exactly the answer I looked for, I just didn't know how to express my question in words' thanks a lot.
 

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
