What happens if you drop 0.125 grams of antimatter?

vaporize Vatican City

Dropping 0.125 grams of antimatter would vaporize Vatican City and release energy equivalent to 36% of the Hiroshima blast. However, CERN produces only a trillionth of a gram annually, making such an event impossible.

• ⚛️ Antimatter annihilation converts nearly 100% of mass to energy via E=mc².
• 💰 Antimatter is astronomically expensive, estimated at over $100 billion per gram.
• 🔬 CERN's antimatter factory produces about 40 million antiprotons per minute, but the total annual output is minuscule.
• 🍌 Bananas are a surprisingly common source of antimatter, with the average human producing ~180 positrons per hour.
• 🚫 The movie scenario of stealing 0.125g of antimatter from CERN is pure fiction due to production limitations.
