Quote:Tapping it for power will do absolutely no good unless we break the conservation of baryon/leptons.Well, as I recall, matter/antimatter particle pairs form spontaneously out of the fabric of space all the time -- it's the very reason why small black holes "evaporate". It's a long step from that to a practical system for doing so, but basically that means it's possible to do like those black holes and yoink one particle into containment while letting the other wander off on its own, before the two mutually re-annihilate. It should be cheaper, energywise, to harvest spontaneous antiparticles than it would be to make them. Might not be practical, timescalewise, but it's possible.
