E=MC2 and Antimatter

If you could convert all the energy contained in 1KG of water, or sugar or any other such stuff you could drive a car for 1,00,000 years without stopping. This is what E=MC2, a revolutionary equation give by you know who, that changed the world. This equations means that mass is very concentrated form of energy! And you will be surprised to know that 1 Gram of anything has enough energy to supply for all energy needs of a medium sized
 town for a day.
Antimatter
When any particle moving with the speed of 3,00,000 KM/Sec will hit a block of material, its energy is transformed producing temperature of 10,00,00,00,00,000 Co.
And under these extreme circumstances, the energy set free in the collision transforms into matter.
Imagine a metal sheet, when u stamp out a coin from the metal sheet, you are left with a coin and a hole in the metal sheet, call this Anti-coin.Similarly when Energy transforms in to matter, we are left with Matter(a particle) and Antimatter(anti particle). Every thing you see around you is made in the similar way. Now, when you reverse the process, i.e. transform matter into energy, the energy released is enormous, as examples given above. 
Antimatter, however is a costly deal. Imagine this, to create 1 Gram of Antimatter it would need to spend 100 quadrillion dollar and run the factory for 100 billion years.
The weight of the bomb dropped in the Hiroshima Nagasaki was 4630KG, that killed 39,000 people outright and injured 25000 severely. But Antimatter, Just 1gm of Antimatter would be enough to cause such damage.
So Antimatter has great energy to supply, its on human to use such energy in good Direction.
