Authors note: I am writing this because I just saw a movie that had antimatter in it and it seemed like an interesting topic.
Antimatter to me is the destroyer of matter kind of like how galactus is the destroyer of worlds in The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. I imagined antimatter as little bombs that blow up and destroy matter when they are put together. Antimatter is, in my opinion, something that, if harnessed properly, could be used to help us understand more about our world and what goes on around us everyday.
Antimatter, what is it? Antimatter is the exact opposite of matter and creates anticombinations of particles using antiparticles and antimatter just like how matter and other particles make combinations like hydrogen and oxygen. When anti matter and regular matter combine they destroy each other and create matter antimatter pairs like gamma radiation. Scientists believe that for every inch of regular matter we see there is an inch of antimatter we don't see. Antimatter has shown up a lot in the past in many theories and still is in some. Some theories included the vortex theory of gravity which proposed the possibility of negative gravity, which could be redone and then used to create hovercraft technology if corrected in my opinion, was thought of by William Hicks in the 1880s. Another includes Karl Pearson's theory that there were squirts and sinks in the flow of aether which I, personally, think could be true.
The modern theory of antimatter began in 1928 with Paul Dirac. He realized that his relativistic theory of wave equations for electrons made the possibility of antielectrons. These were found by Carl D. Anderson in 1932 and named positrons. Although Dirac did not use the term antimatter its use follows on with antielectrons, antiparticles, and antiprotons.
As you can see we have already tried to understand more about antimatter but with the technology back then we couldn't. So what do you think? Do you think that, with the technology we have now or in the future, that we could start to harness and understand more about antimatter? As I said before, if we could harness antimatter we could be one step closer to understanding more about the beautiful planet we live on.

The term antimatter was first used by Arthur Schuster in his two whimsical letters to nature in 1898 in which he coined it. He hypothesized the existence of antiatoms, and that matter and antimatter annihilated each other, which would be hard to see unless you had a really good microscope. His ideas were not serious ideas in the scientific development.
