Why would they make a "big booooooommmmmm effect"? The amount of antimatter that a particle accelerator produces is minuscule.

Not much. Hint--"particle collisions" occur in the atmosphere every day at energy levels higher than any particle accelerator can achieve, with no "big booooommmmmm effect". Google "cosmic rays".

Yeah, it'll be so big that it might heat your cup of coffee. All of the anti-matter that's being produced in particle accelerators right now is maybe a few thousand particles, compared to quintillions of particles in a room of air, it's nothing. Yousuf Khan |
