Dusty,

Antimatter is a (proven!) form of matter, it is exactly the same as =
normal matter but the charges are the opposite. When an atom of normal =
matter meets an atom of antimatter they annihilate each other producing =
pure energy : perfect E=3Dmc2.
It is so efficient that 1mm3 of antimatter produces the same amount =
of energy as the 180m tall orange fuel on the shuttle! =20
The only problem is that it would 10 years to make that amount in a =
particle accelerator.

So I was wondering if anybody knew a different way of producing or =
collecting (the aurora is caused by antimatter particles coming in =
contact with air molecules) antimatter partcles?
