-----------------------------------------------
The energy produced from
Matter-AntiMatter annihilations
is equal to
the mass times the square of the speed of light (E=mc2).

Scientist are know for their intellectual minds.

Definitions
|
- Megaton of TNT is energy produced by annihilating
(converting)
33.3 grams
of antimatter into energy or 3 x 1015Joules
- Sunsec (sun second) is the energy produced by the sun in one
second m converting
4.44 million metric tons of matter into energy or 4 x 1026Joules
- Sunyr (sun year) is the energy
produced by the sun in one year by converting
140 Trillion metric tons of matter into energy
or 1.26 x 1034Joules

From the examples, matter-antimatter interactions
can cause tremendous
damage or become an incredible source of energy.
