[QUOTE=Arachnidus;26126882]Wait a sec, wouldn't it be a little more complex than that? We are talking about a matter-antimatter reaction here, that much energy being released tends to do a lot more than just a big explosion. The radiation alone...[/QUOTE]
What do you think an 'explosion' is? A rapid release of energy.
If a nuke goes off, or anti-matter/matter annihilation occurs particles absorb a lot of the radiation which will give them extra energy causing them to move around a lot (hence why air moves away from the source a shit load). That's it. When you see an explosion that's all it is. When things like gasoline tanks explode it's the same principle: energy transfer to molecules around it (although in that case it's not through radiation).
If a nuke went off in space the effects would be a lot less visibly devastating because of the lack of surrounding matter. You'd still get pretty fucked up by the radiation though some distance away from it if you weren't adequately shielded.

Samuel L. Jackson glares at space until it becomes black enough for his satisfaction. And that's how black holes and dark matter are made.

Well this is exciting. Antihydrogen atoms like normal H atoms don't have a charge so they couldn't be stored under a magnetic field like positrons and antiprotons to not have them interact with matter.

"Atom trap". The place where they keep anti matter. A happy Swedish scientist.
It some more speculation of what the explosion would look like, it would be cool, albeit unlikely, if it looked anything like what atmospheric nuclear explosions look like:

38 anti matter atoms.
...really?
...really people?
I mean if there was a kilogram of the shit then yeah, but 38 atoms? that doesn't even have enough energy to heat the air around you noticeably.

Nah it would probably look like air spontaneously went on fire if anything, since there are no gaseous products just raw energy, it would be a bomb whose primary mechanism for destruction would be mind shattering heat.

Probably, it's called a penning trap.
So, If we've been making Anti-Hydrogen since 1995, what's so special about this occasion? Can someone explain?
First time we've trapped it I think, and it's the first time it's been done on purpose I believe.
help spidey save us from dr octo pus
They have been making anti-matter for a while. But if you combined all of the anti matter they have created and annihilated, It could just power a single light bulb
But they´re getting further every day
I hope cern will sell anti-matter light bulbs.

As you know, hydrogen with one proton and one electron is neutral. AntiH is neutral too, therefore it couldn't be trapped like positrons and antiprotons (positive and negative charges, respectively), which can be kept in a magnetice field.

I'm fairly certain down at the atomic level the charges atoms have in particular areas (that being the electron cloud, and nucleus) become apparent. That being, approaching the atom from the outside the negative charge is stronger than the positive charge (which is why you simply can't force two atoms together: the negative charge of the electrons in each atom repels them. If this weren't the case atoms would very easily join together when pushed towards each other, which isn't the case). For the same reason you can capture 'neutral' atoms in a magnetic field.
While all over their net charge is zero, and, at the macro level this is the way it always seems to be, at such a small scale I'm fairly certain this isn't the case.

When matter falls in, it falls in in circles, forming an dish (due to conservation of angular momentum). As closer it comes, as denser it will become. This causes heat - Much heat.

You can still store neutral atoms in a strong inhomogeneous magnetic field, because every matter is at least diamagnetic (google for "flying frog in magnetic field").

It would look pretty much just like a nuclear explosion. The explosion of the nuclear bomb is just the surrounding air really rapidly heating up and expanding due to huge impulse of x- and gammarays.
Would it look like a Life Support 2 Fusion reactor exploding on Gmod?
