What is antimatter?
In: Physics
Matter is made of atoms. Antimatter is made up of the topsy turvy version of atoms.
Atoms have positive parts and negative parts, so you swap the positive and negative **(technically there are neutral parts for both atoms and anti atoms. The neutral parts are made up of even smaller parts that come in normal and anti varieties with opposite charges, but lets ignore that for simplicity)** and you get an opposite day atom! That is antimatter.
If a normal atom and an opposite day atom touch, they will wipe each other out and release a lot of energy.
A single hydrogen atom touching a single anti hydrogen atom creates a spark visible to the naked eye.
