What does “antimatter” mean?

antimatter

Oh, this is a cool science one!

So, matter is everything around you — your body, a chair, water, the air. Antimatter is the opposite of that. It's like a mirror version of normal matter, where tiny particles have opposite properties.

Here's the wild part — if antimatter touches normal matter, they destroy each other completely and release a huge amount of energy. Like, imagine two things hitting each other and both just vanishing in a flash. Scientists actually make tiny amounts of antimatter in labs, but it's incredibly rare and hard to keep.

You might hear it in movies or sci-fi stories: "The ship runs on antimatter engines!" — it sounds futuristic, but antimatter is a real thing, just not something you'll ever see in everyday life.

So basically, it's the opposite twin of normal matter — and a dangerous one at that.
