Eugene Said:

Anti matter questions for applications?

We Answered:

Anti-matter will destroy any matter that it touches. They will mutually annihilate each other.

An anti-matter cancer cell would not seek and destroy matter cancer cells. It would simply destroy any living tissue that it touched with quite an explosion (something that you don't want in your body).

Anti-matter has the same gravitational properties as matter.

It also has the same magnetic properties as matter, so any magnetic fields that you produce by spinning charged anti-matter particles can also be accomplished using regular matter.

Not all matter spins the same way. There is one planet that is tipped on its side (North pole in the plane of rotation about the sun). There is no connection to anti-matter there. This is a property of the angular momentum that the original solar system had.

You may be interested to know that we use the properties of anti-matter when scanning for cancer. When a patient goes in for a scan, they will put him into a P.E.T. scanner to detect the cancer.

P.E.T. stands for "Positron Emission Tomography", and the positron is the anti-matter version of the electron.

First you drink some radioactive sugar, which gets caught up in the cancer cells. When the radioactive sugar decays, it releases positrons. Those positrons hit electrons and both electron and positron explode releasing gamma rays. So the cancer cells will be emitting high concentrations of gamma rays, which is how we know where the tumor is.

However, you really don't want a lot of gamma rays shooting through your body.
