[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] I have been told that although starships do indeed keep their matter reserve as deuterium (thus it can double-up as fuel for the impulse fusion generators), the antimatter is plain old anti-hydrogen. I believe the source is Sternbach (about as canon as you can get). Logically, it makes sense, as antihydrogen has to be easier to acquire/make than anti-deuterium. There is no parity/symmetry issue, its not as if the reactor needs anti-deuterium. The matter/antimatter reactor would gladly accept coffee and anti-earl gray tea as reactants, as long as they were first converted into gasses, and the masses were in correct proportion. So, what is the mass of 1 cubic meter of liquid slushy hydrogen? (This will allow me to estimate the amount of antimatter in a storage pod for my evil plans). [/QB][/QUOTE]
