The science behind red matter...

[Chinesetrekkie]

It seems like red matter is like anti-matter, although more stable since anti-matter will destroy itself when it touches matter. The results unknown....

Thoughts anyone?

Oh, by the way...

Red matter was an unstable matter with distinct gravitational properties, specifically a propensity to condense into quantum singularities, first seen in the 24th century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter

In particle physics, antimatter is the extension of the concept of the antiparticle to matter, where antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. For example, an antielectron (a positron, an electron with a positive charge) and an antiproton (a proton with a negative charge) could form an antihydrogen atom in the same way that an electron and a proton form a normal matter hydrogen atom. Furthermore, mixing matter and antimatter would lead to the annihilation of both in the same way that mixing antiparticles and particles does, thus giving rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particle�antiparticle pairs.

Over 90% of the universe is composed of black matter. Red matter is the anti-composition of the combination of yellow and green matters.

So my red pen cap is red-matter?

I know this may be a stupid question on my part, but have they ever gone beyond theorizing as far as anti-matter is concerned? Have there been any experiments to try and create it? I need to brush up my science.

uhh....yeah.................They have created very small forms of antimatter at CERN

The University of Pennsylvannia created 11 particles of anti-hydrogen in the early 90's. Yeah, the science is pretty definite by now.
