Its called a particle trap and antimatter is currently the most expensive material in the entire world. It is literally cheaper to build a B-2 bomber and gold plate it and then bomb the planet until it glows purple than build antimatter weapons to do the same thing. Expect no antimatter weapons until we have a far more efficient way to make it.

You probably could stud the Golden B-2 Bomber in diamonds too AND give each person working on this project their own Gold plated B-2 Bomber for cheaper.

...now I want a gold-plated B-2 Bomber

[MonkeyHead]

plated in antigold?

[Neonivek]

plated in antigold?

Wouldn't the whole B-2 Bomber have to also be made out of anti-matter so it doesn't explode in that case?

[Heron TSG]

You'd also have to turn the air around it into a vacuum.

[Derekristow]

Theoretical question:  Would it be possible to communicate with an antimatter civilization any way other than visually?

Sound is right out due to incompatible air.  Any form of radiation that doesn't involve an actual particle is probably fine.  Electronically is out for several reasons.

Also, how can we tell whether or not something in space is made out of antimatter?  If it is as similar to normal matter as believed, it would probably react to light in the same way.

[Pillow_Killer]

Shoot bullets at them. If its an explosion, its made of matter, if its a BIG explosion, its antimatter?

[Akura]

Can you actually put a price on an object that exists for a tenth of a second?  I mean, it's not "priceless" like love or some shit because it is actually a thing, but it doesn't stay around long.

Panic at the NYSE today when the price of Antimatter dropped sharply today as investors realized nobody would be stupid enough to buy something that decays faster than it takes to advertise it and that there's no technologically practical way to even use it. Several of those who bought stock in Antimatter committed suicide, one of whom by exposing a sample of Antimatter to matter, and being killed in the resulting explosion.

But there is positive news, Love increased +5 points and is at its highes point since the '90s.

[Eugenitor]

This might sound counterintuitive, but there really isn't a whole lot of difference between "a tenth of a second" and "indefinitely" when dealing with particles smaller than a molecule.
