Should you be concerned about the possibility of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN creating enough antimatter to blow up the Earth? Or the whole Universe?
In 2015 I wrote: Is the LHC Opening a Door to Hell? I Am Not ConCERNed! Some unhinged commentator wrote that dark matter or antimatter created in the LHC was attracting demons from another dimension. This was again repeated recently. This time through a black hole was created! CERN Created a Black Hole, Opening a Portal to Another Dimension, Seriously? That prompted me to write a SATIRE piece: Black Hole Created at CERN!
The lack of antimatter in the Universe is a problem for the scamdemic they call the big bang origin of the Universe. Read Antimatter Matters for the Big Bang Origin of the Universe.
Now I just heard that some YouTube warrior raised the possibility of CERN creating enough antimatter to blow up the world or disrupt the fabric of spacetime! Here is an example on Bitchute.com: CERN’s darkest side. The destruction of souls.
But what is the reality here?
Let me say just this: It’s NOT so scary!
Positrons or anti-electrons
Below is a image from a physics lab at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory where a positron-electron pair is observed in a bubble chamber. In an applied static magnetic field the two particles spiral in opposite directions because of their opposite charges. This fact helps to identify them.
Positrons are extremely rarely found by themselves on Earth but they are frequently found paired with an electron. We call the positron the antiparticle of the electron. Thus the positron is antimatter.
However what is common is the imagining technique called a PET scan.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET scan) is a medical imaging technique and is commonly used. It involves the use of the antimatter particle called a positron or beta plus particle (β+). It is the antiparticle to the electron or the beta negative particle (β−).
No one fears the use of these ubiquitous PET scan machines! And I assure you no kittens or other pets are ever used.
Positron emission, also known as beta plus decay, is a radioactive decay process. A proton inside an unstable radioactive nucleus is converted into a neutron while releasing a positron and an electron neutrino.
Positron emission occurs extremely rarely in nature on Earth. Known instances include cosmic ray interactions and the decay of certain isotopes. An example of positron emission (β+ decay) is magnesium-23 decaying into sodium-23.
Because a proton is converted into a neutron, positron decay results in changing an atom of one chemical element into an atom of another chemical element with an atomic number that is one unit less.
Anti-Protons
Antiprotons have been detected in cosmic rays from the late 1970’s. They are produced in collisions of cosmic ray protons with atomic nuclei in the interstellar medium. They are like normal protons but carry a negative charge instead of the usual positive charge.
Thus the antiproton is antimatter.
Antiprotons have been produced in various laboratory experiments at CERN including in the LEAR, ATRAP, ALPHA, ASACUSA and BASE experiments. The latter is looking for a needed asymmetry between protons and antiprotons (see below).
Various other particles that qualify as antimatter are also produced at CERN and in other particle accelerators around the world. These have been made for a long time when no one was predicting cosmic annihilation from them.
Their actual presence in the quantities we do observe is evidence for the divine creation of the Universe.
If the Universe spontaneously arose from the vacuum, i.e. from a meta-stable quantum singularity, 14 billion years ago, then there should be equal parts of matter and antimatter particles, just like in the creation of the positron-electron pair (shown above). But to some hideous precision we measure no asymmetry in any such experiments.
Then the question arises where did all the normal matter come from, which has no equivalent antimatter in the Universe? No antimatter galaxies are ever observed. This is an enormous problem for the misotheist.
Those who reject the Creator’s hand in the Universe grasp at the ‘cosmic straws’ of fictional dark matter, their unknown god. See Is Dark Matter the Unknown God?
Fifty years or more producing antimatter in Earth-based laboratories has not yet blown up the planet or disrupted the fabric of spacetime. Besides the tiny amount of antimatter produced in these experiments, if annihilated with normal matter, might not even produce enough heat energy to boil your jug of water to make a cup of coffee. So …. I am not conCERNed.

I’d like to say this simply, notwithstanding the tremendous difference between electrons and positrons, and related antiparticles. The positron is NOT antimatter; it is an antiparticle (even this, I’m hesitant). This is better called as an antielectron. But I won’t balk if someone wants to call it positron (and similarly with other anti-whatever).
What we must be extremely cautious is with the words and their meaning. To say something is antimatter implies that when God created the Universe he created time, space, matter and antimatter!! But that is not true. ALL matter implicitly contains particles and anti-particles!!
To speak with a bit more biblical precision (yet not unscientifically), God created time, space and water to begin with. While antiparticles are not excluded from this, what IS excluded IS antimatter!!
We, biblically based creationists, must never allow non-biblically based scientists to redefine terms or introduce new terms that play around with paradigms of thought that veer away from the reality God teaches us in the Bible. True, well-intentioned folks, even biblical ones, may disagree on what the issues are.
But in this particular context, I really do hope biblical creationist scientists stop using the term antimatter, and use the term antiparticle. Even this is NOT exactly correct, because a particle IS matter, so best to call it an anti-electron (or if people want to give it a specific words, then positron is fine), and similarly for other particles whose counter-charged object is discovered.
This said, we need not get into the more real specifics of wave nature of particles, and energy, all of which were created on Day One, and certainly modified by God on Day Two and later days as he was preparing the Universe, the Earth, and our first grandparents Adam and Eve. And we need not bring up spiritual entities he also created.
What I would like for us to assert is that, biblically, there is NO antimatter. We need to change our misled paradigms, on this particular aspect.

I don’t agree that a positron is not antimatter. It may be just semantics but the antielectron, the positron, can be modelled as P.A.M. Dirac did as a negative energy state of the vacuum. Or another approach is time-reversed electrons. That is why new antiparticles provide a test of a fundamental symmetry of the known laws of physics, called CPT (charge-parity-time) symmetry.
But f0r all intents and purposes, the way the word is used, all anti-particles are called anti-matter. They are not exotic like dark matter though.
If you mean to imply antimatter plus matter = nothing, then that would be wrong. But the meaning here is antimatter plus matter = something (energy).
My post is intended to refute the nonsense about antimatter creation, like antihydrogen creation, being particularly dangerous. It is not. God made all forms of matter which includes particle/antiparticle pairs both of which contain normal energy. To annihilate the fabric of space you would need Star Trek like negative energy (exotic and unknown) but antimatter does produce that stuff.
