  1. not yet, very, only in very very very very very very small amounts.


  2. The warp-drive of Captain Kirk's Enterprise sounds like a good idea.  There's lots of almost plausible science in Star Trek.  A tremendous amount of energy is possible when matter and antimatter annihilate each other.  But unlike the folks in the 24th century, we don't have any access to antimatter, nor anyway to contain it.  (No containment field, and no dilithium crystals, either)

    Therefore, an antimatter "anything" is impossible, much less a bomb.  Whenever antimatter comes into contact with matter there is annihilation, which completely converts both forms of matter into energy as a burst of gamma radiation.  Of course, the big question is where would the antimatter come from?  You can't just "make" antimater.
