  1. use an all natural black hole.


  2. vinegar and baking soda

  3. I don't think that you can make antimatter with simple things that one could acquire anywhere. Even in specialized laboratories, they've only been able to create single anti-particles.

    And even should you somehow be able to make some anti-matter, it would soon find some matter, the stuff we deal with and what is anti-matter's opposite, and when the two meet, they combine and turn into pure energy. A lot of energy.

  4. Destroy some matter.

  5. yea. destory some matter. LOL

  6. this question is extreamily difficult to answer given the fact that we know pretty much nothing about antimatter except that its there. lets review the properties of antimatter-

    1. it has positive electrons, called positrons.

    2. it has negative protons.

    3. it has neutral neutrons... or so we think.

    4. its subatomic mass shows that the positrons outweigh the negatrons.

    physicists in switzerland have created some of this antimatter, by accelorating particles to extream speeds, giving them a very high temperature, and then quickly freezing them in temperatures close to absolute 0 (-273 degrees C, 0 degrees kelvin).

    what they did was that they changed the atom's properties so rapidly, that they were actually able to change the charges of the subatomic particles. electrons became positive, protons became negative. they messed with the speeds of the electrons orbiting the nucleus, and were able to warp the charges.

    we have no idea what actually happened that causes the underlined change, and it would take me hours to write down the mathematics behind it. there are entire books written on this subject. in a nutshell, the atomic temperatures were changed in such rapid order that the atoms of the normal matter "forgot" how to behave. electrons start to orbit the opposite way to some extent. the electron spin changes... and therefore they become extreamily magneitc particles. its hard to keep anti matter because when it comes into contact with regular matter, it changes back. this is a very tricky subject. although i'd like to say people can do this as a science fair project, we are far from that point!
