The Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter in the early universe. But today, everything we see from the smallest life forms on Earth to the largest stellar objects is made almost entirely of matter. Comparatively, there is not much antimatter to be found.

The modern theory of antimatter began in 1928, with a paper by Paul Dirac. Dirac realised that his relativistic version of the Schrödinger wave equation for electrons predicted the possibility of antielectrons. These were discovered by Carl D. Anderson in 1932 and named positrons from "positive electron".

First, you need a very good vacuum so that the antimatter doesn't inadvertently bump into a stray atom in the air. Then you need to keep it away from the sides of your container as these are made of matter too. The solution is a 'magnetic bottle' that uses electric and magnetic fields to imprison the antimatter.Jul 13, 2014

Given that there is about 700 times as much normal matter as there are black holes, this can't be where the antimatter is hiding; antimatter didn't form black holes.Apr 21, 2018

• antimatter was difficult to be created at the very early times of the Universe, the reason is still unknown... Obviously we live in a "matter" world with a low % of antimatter, meaning that for some reason at some point matter was preferentially produced compared to antimatter...This goes around as matter-antimatter asymmetry

• But in reality, antimatter is really no different than regular matter, except that antimatter atoms have positrons instead of electrons and antiprotons instead of protons. At CERN in Switzerland, scientists have actually been able to create antimatter and store it in a magnetic field that keeps it from touching regular matter.

• Electric and magnetic forces then gather them together with positrons. Since 2009, ALPHA has trapped atoms in a magnetic bottle on a few hundred occasions. In 2011, the ALPHA experiment at CERN managed to make atoms of antihydrogen , the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, and store them for nearly 17 minutes.

• One thing for sure about antimatter is that it explodes when it meets matter. Harness that, and the possible uses are limitless. Take hospital PET scans for example, which are probably the most common application of antimatter. The “P” in PET stands for positron, which is a subatomic, antimatter particle.

This was Dirac’s anti-electron. Today, antimatter is primarily found in cosmic rays – extraterrestrial high-energy particles that form new particles as they zip into the Earth’s atmosphere. It also appears when scientists smash together particles boosted to high energies in machines called accelerators.

The materials for making Antimatter Housing are also very easily acquired, one being Metal Plating (made from literally harvesting rocks for Ferrite, and those are everywhere), and another being Oxygen. Just like how the gift of Carbon keeps on giving if you’re a plant, the same logic applies to Oxygen.

This guide (based on Patashu's Guide on Kongregate) is about getting through Antimatter Dimensions as fast as possible. Obviously, in incremental games, you will always eventually get what you want, but there are fast and slow ways.

Plants are an incredibly easy and exploitable source of this material no matter where you land, so get to deforesting your surroundings if you’re having some trouble netting enough to get the 20 Condensed Carbon you need for your Antimatter. Once you have your beloved Antimatter, you can use it in a number of excellent and useful recipes.
