The anti matter chair would have annihilated the matter atoms that it stands on creating a blast that would have evaporated an area of 120 blocks radius at least, probably more!
The energy of annihilation is E = mc^2 where c, the speed of light, is about 3×10^8 m/s. Let’s say the chair has mass m=5kg, which would require 5kg of matter to annihilate it, for a total m=10kg. Assuming 100% conversion efficiency, that means the energy produced would be about 9×10^17 J.
The atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima released about 1.5×10^13 J.
This would release sixty thousand times that energy. That’s one helluva joke.
If that’s true, then both he and the chair will be annhiliated in a violent explosion. That’s what happens when matter and antimatter come into contact. They cancel each other and the energy is emitted in form of electromagnetic radiation.

there’s at least one Nobel prize if they can pull this off.

Boom, as Lt. Col. Henry Blake would have said.

Their scenario is impossible!

If the professor is pro-matter, there’s gonna be an explosion.

Better step back about 1000 miles……

but then, in the long run what does any of this matter…?
