According to modern understanding, an anti atom or anti molecule, consisting of antiprotons, antineutrons, and positrons, should interact with light in exactly the same way as matter. That is, the photon of light given off by the positron of anti-hydrogen going from the 2s orbital to the 1s orbital SHOULD be indentical to the photon given off by the electron going from the 2s to the 1s orbital of the hydrogen atom.

Thus, it SHOULD look exactly the same as normal matter, from the perspective of 'looking' meaning how it interacts with light, and how our eyeball would perceive it.

This assumes that there is a way to completely isolate it from interacting with any ordinary matter, via some hypothetical force field not yet invented. In our matter-filled universe, any matter that touched the hypothetical antimattter object would liberate energy, via E=mc^2, resulting either in what seemed to be a highly radioactive gamma ray emitting solid that glowed in the dark, or, if too much matter touched it at once.... kaBOOM!!

i googled antimatter and got wikipedia,

here is the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter

according to this and my reasoning. i think its a ray that when connects to a nearby matter it explodes or something.

hope this helps.

As of now, they could create only positrons and anti-protons which could not be seen. I am not aware of any bigger particles.
