Description: This film explores the scientific concept of antimatter, tracing its discovery from initial mathematical predictions in the early 20th century to the laboratory identification of positrons, antiprotons, and antineutrons. It explains the fundamental difference between matter and antimatter—specifically the reversal of electrical charges within the atom—and describes the violent, energy-releasing annihilation that occurs when these two states of matter collide. The narrative also examines the possibility that vast regions of the universe, including entire stars and galaxies, might be composed of antimatter, and discusses speculative theories such as reversed time and potential historical encounters with antimatter, such as the mysterious Tunguska event. Ultimately, the film contemplates the future potential of harnessing antimatter as a revolutionary, clean energy source.

Complete Record: This new exciting animated film discusses the possibility that large quantities of anti-matter are existing in space, the significance of the Tunguska Meteor in relation to the annihilation process (the result of matter and anti-matter colliding) and explores the possibility of constructive use of energy released from annihilation. , Uses animation to present an introduction to the concept of anti-matter. Traces the concept's history from its mathematical proof in the 1930s, through its laboratory formation, to various extensions of the theory which suggest an anti-universe with anti-time., Uses animation to present an introduction to the concept of anti-matter.
