What di you think about anti matter weapon

I have read and researched some information about the anti matter and the way scientist turn it into electricity or weapon.I wonder myself when the antimatter power will replace the nuclear power

 

When anti-gravity, wormholes and FTL travel becomes possible.

In other words, never.

 

Muon bombs would be interesting.

Never.

Where would we get the anti-matter except by producing it ourselves by consuming power?

 

Does it really matter?

(well someone was bound to say it! )


)

 

>Never

 

Its mind over matter. I don't mind and it don't matter.

 

We actually can't make antimatter in quantities above a few atoms at a time. Useless for anything other than research.

 

When it becomes profitable.

Antimatter is not an efficient energy source ...yet. Someday perhaps. If we can find a natural and obtainable source for it, that would work. However making it, as we do now, is unlikely to ever produce net+ energy. Nuclear reactors are really just engines that run on the energy naturally stored in uranium. Anti-matter may some day be a useful storage mechanism for energy. If we could use solar or geothermal energy to make antimatter, it might be a good sort of 'fuel-battery' kinda like how hydrogen or syngas would be today. But like hydrogen (and much worse than hydrogen) storing antimatter is another problem in and of itself. Im sure technology and innovation will eventually reveal solutions ...but I wouldnt expect them soon. Not in our lifetime.

 

I would barely even call it that. Until just a few years ago, the most "advanced" antimatter we ever created was antihelium-4. And it took 262 giga-electron-volts to make an entire 18 atoms that barely lasted long enough to detect before they were destroyed. And from what has been announced I have not seen any progress beyond that in the last decade.

 

It likely will never be, it is a science fiction chimera pretty much like fusion energy.
