Edit: honestly, I don't believe in anti-matter; the whole idea is absurd. Matter is what it is; it's either one type or another, but it is still matter. Electrons and Protons are different yes, and opposing, yes, but does that mean one is anti- to the other. Of course not, they work in conjunction and do so quite effectively, such that the entire Universe relies on their function and existence.
Antimatter has been detected (and even synthesized) deliberately and repeatedly here on Earth, bro. It's not magical or hypothetical.

Their function in relation to each other is likely to be essentially the same, except on a different scale and in another environment.
Ahahahaha, this is amazing. You know nothing about physics. In fact, you might actually have negative physics knowledge. Anti-physics--I'm impressed.
PS: Dumping iron into a star isn't going to kill it, dudes. Fusion of iron is endothermic, but it won't occur under conditions present in the core of a main sequence star and iron isn't a fusion inhibitor in any meaningful sense. Resolving to dump a large quantity of iron into a star will result in a few happy miners and little else. The iron-56 nucleus is simply the most stable and as a result fusion of lighter elements is exothermic while fusion of heavier elements is endothermic.
Besides, it's a stretch to even think that such a quantity of antimatter is available in EVE. A much more likely interpretation of the various "antimatter" weapons and reactors is that they refer to antimatter-catalyzed fusion and require only trifling amounts of antimatter themselves. Destroying a star is senseless anyway--it'd be many orders of magnitude cheaper to destroy its planets, and many more orders of magnitude cheaper than that to just sterilize those planets one way or another. |
