Is anti matter considered a physical substance?

Question

Is anti matter considered a physical, nonphysical, anti physical or other substance?

Answer 1

No it has to be an anti-physical substance.

Answer 2

I would need to know what you mean by physical substance. Would a physica substance simply be a thing with weight, or a thing that interacts with photons, a ling that interacts with matter?
If this is what is meant by physical substance then yes, anti-matter is a physical substance. This term is difficult though for i could also classify a physical thing as anything that can be qualitatively measured, which would mean that there is nothing but physical substance, be it matter, anti-matter, dark matter, dark energy, strings, quarks, branes, and so on.

Answer 3

well, the term nothing, does return, an idea, into a person,
so anti matter,
unless i rule everything, people believe god made,
probubly doesent really matter then does it,

i have tried for two months to get a good conversation,

and if someone could explain antimay=tter, then i would think they would be important enough and honest enough to know that if the si=ociety we live in doesnot teach from the bottom up about anti matter, we all agree that is the way to get around to topics like that,

but if you belive that someone can accidentqllty understand
a question like that, then there is my anti matter

Answer 4

It has been hypothesised that there may very well be whole solar systems and even galaxies composed entirely of antimatter instead of matter. There would be no way by visual inspection to tell the difference.

Antimatter is just as physical as normal matter. Period.

Think of it this way... if you use the same frequency of sound, and two sound waves are perfectly out of phase, they will perfectly cancel each other out. Does that make one of the sound waves energy and the other anti-energy?

Though you could label them in this way, the distinction is purely arbitrary. If you like, you may just as well say that WE are anti-matter and that other stuff is matter.

Answer 5

Anti-matter is as solid and real as matter.

Proton = positive charge
anti-proton=negative charge

electron=negative charge
anti-electron=positive charge

Other than the charge they are exactly the same in every way as normal matter, same mass, same size, etc.... There's really nothing metaphysical about it.

Answer 6

I think Everything is Physical..I look at it.. that everything we know of and everything we don't know of.. has to be a physical matter.."It's Electric" The wind is physical..yet we don't see it. You just see it's affects. Anyway..that's my belief.
Contrary to what some believe...God Created everything..Everything He Created is Alive..even the things we can't see with the Human Eye.

Answer 7

antimatter is not considered a physical substance actually. in the world, there is something opposite 4 anything. for matter it is antimatter.
antimatter is identical 2 physical matter except it is composed of particles whose electric charges are opposite o those found in normal matter. it is the most powerful source of energy known 2 man. it releases energy with 100% efficiency ( nuclear fision is 1.5% efficient). antimatter cretaes no pollution or radiation and a droplet could power NY city for a full day...

Answer 8

Anti matter is formed from matter but has no physical substance it is energy in its purest form. Is energy physical?
We can feel energy but we can not see it physically.
Heat, sound, pressure, light are all energy ....You can 'can' anti matter but you sure can see its effect
no its not physical.

Answer 9

It is as physical as matter, so far as physics is concerned.
