Einstein believed in anti-matter...how do we conceptualize this form of energy?

Parallel universe?

Energy in an anti matter environment is exactly the same as ‘normal’ energy – energy is the ability to do work, that doesn’t differ with a change of polarity.

> Well that is a fine definition....is their an unknown polarity that switches characteristics of energy to accomodate quantum physics?...Oh and God save the Queen, my Dad left England for Normandy so long ago..P.S. Did you see that Arsenal match where face slapping was the anti-matter...Angry palm trees..APT..get in that spitfire and take out the Hun..Caractacus

The message boards have been reformatted. If you're truely interesed in a serious answer to your question, try posting it in the Science board.

I, for one, find your question very poorly formulated, and on first glance would tend to regard it as a troll.

I have to admit that I was

I have to admit that I was more than puzzeld by this post. I'm not sure I remember Einstein writing about anti-matter and I have no idea what that has to do with parallel universes. I think we all believe in anti-matter since it's been produced regularly since 1995. Anti-matter isn't a theory. It's a fact of life. Randy's point is well taken in that energy has nothing to do with charge. Anti-matter is the same as regular matter but with a reversed charge. Granted, collisions between anti-matter and regular matter release a considerable amount of energy. But stored anti-matter releases no energy at all, just as regular matter releases none until acted upon.
The theory of parallel universes proposed in quantum mechanics is not the same as the science fiction version of parallel universes. For one thing, parallel universes proposed in quantum mechanics are assumed to be non-communicating. Assuming they exist, and that's a big if, it would be impossible to pass from one to another.

And, this really should be in the Science section.

Just my two cents..

Timster, Please allow me to

Timster,
Please allow me to suggest a few links on Wikipedia.
Parallel Universes
Antimatter
Quantum Mechanics
General Relativity
TOE

Keep trying to wrap your right brain around it all. It's guaranteed to stave off boredom and Alzheimer's and it's better for you than TV.
