Im thinking if matter and antimatter colide it creates an awsome eenergy like an explosion if you like an im thinking if we can harness that energy coudnt we use it to travel at great speed?

The total volume of antimatter ever produced by man wouldn't come anywhere near filling a thimble.
Warp speed is theoretically possible, but not in the way you think.

Warp velocity is impossible and could constantly be impossible, in accordance to the thought of relativity. no longer something in our universe can commute as speedy or swifter than the cost of light. Any concern that has mass can not. If shall we, then there's a danger that shall we hit an asteroid, planet, etc. In area there is not any gravitational stress, for this reason G-stress.

"Warp" speed is a science fiction invention.
But a matter/anti-matter engine to drive a star ship would for SURE be the way to go; the best bang for the buck, as close to 100 % efficient as you can get and the energy emitted will be E=mc2, which is a very large amount.

Warp speed is a Star Trek fantasy. We can't go faster than just below the speed of light.

No amount of energy can accelerate you to the speed of light. Reference: Einstein's Special Relativity.
Folding space is hypothetical but would take more energy than we're ever likely to have.
Wormholes are also hypothetical and may not exist.

No
Not faster than the speed of light.
As you approach the speed of light your mass approaches infinity. F= MA then states that the force required to go fasted would approach infinity as well. Therefor the energy required would be infinite.

Matter and antimatter(or dark matter) are touching constantly. If we did harness "that" energy, we would have to harness super black holes. How would we harness something almost 1billion times bigger than the sun?!

Wow, of course we could do that. What did you have in mind to use for a harness? We will need to order one this week.
