My personal favorite that doesn't involved the antimatter particle is the CT scan.ĬT scans are also called x-ray computed tomography and they basically form a three dimensional image from a series of x-rays. June 16, - Medical imaging has become much more high tech in the last few years, although not all of them feature concepts used in science fiction. If they ever manage it, the energy needs of the world could be met with no problems.

I didn't realize they were actually looking into making this a plausible source of power. A controlled explosion, like using gas in an engine. It's supposed to be the reaction of anti-matter and matter when they come into contact that creates energy. In science fiction anti-matter is almost always used as an energy source to justify the vast amounts of power that spaceships would probably use, particularly when they travel at 'warp' speed or an equivalent. On the other hand, solving the energy crisis would be so amazing. Not the sort of thing you want to experiment with. I don't know how they contain anti-matter at the moment, but if even a small amount comes into contact with just about anything, it will make a huge explosion.įrom what I understand it is comparable to a nuclear explosion, although probably without the after effects. but I think that they would have to be very careful with this kind of research. I was also surprised that Antimatter can be used as a source of energy, can't we use Antimatter to create negative energy so that we can create a stable warp field?
