Ever wondered how much energy you'd get if an earth-equivalent mass of antimatter collided with the planet? I'm guessing no. I have. Recently, in fact.

Well, anti-matter is the complete annihilation of matter. So if we calculate it based on Einstein's formula, E=mc^2, we can figure it out pretty easily. The mass of the Earth = ~5.9742 × 10^24kg. E = (5.9742x10^24)(299,792,458^2). E of course being in joules, as joules are literally a compound unit of kilograms times meters per second squared. 5.367725429^42 Joules would be the energy output. That is roughly 14,910,348,410,000,000 times the amount of energy produced by the sun in one second. It would take the sun around 472.8 million years to generate that much energy at it's current rate of fusion.

To put that in perspective, the amount of energy released by the sun in one second is the equivalent of approximately 10 billion Hydrogen Bombs going off. Each second. If an antimatter mass the size of Earth hit the Earth, it would be equal to that...over almost 475 million years. All at once. 10 billion H. Bombs per second, over the course of 475 million years, released simultaneously. That comes out to...~149,898,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hydrogen Bombs.

Anybody know where I can find a ****load of antimatter?
