If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Well as soon as I create the antimatter and it collides with matter everything will implode and nothing will be left.
You probably watched Angels & Demons and thought, "hell, that'd be cool!"

And it would, even though that movie is a load of crock.

But you don't control antimatter, only matter, so NAANAANAANAANAA BOO BOO!

@Gurw and Skryter
E=mc^2 only applies to energy gaining relative mass, or to calculate how much energy would be released if you were to annihilate the matter in question. Energy is not matter, and matter is not energy, and they cannot be merged to be so. They merely have a relation, which is all that that equation shows.

I actually thought of a power better than anything. Imagine how powerful someone would be if they had the power to banish ponies.

Eh, I control all forms of matter, with antimatter being a form of matter. Regardless I would be helping you, as the collision in process would create more energy..

We should work together to take over the world.

I'll be the Pinky, you be the Brain.

Stopping time. I can put off stuff as much as I want, and still finish them early. Also... there are other reasons.

Wrong again, matter is energy so dense it has mass. When you destroy matter (like in the sun, or in Skryter's antimatter annihalation) you simply unlock it from the ball it's squished into. That's why there is light and nothing else, no part of the matter left. That light *is* that matter. If this wasn't true, one thing that would happen would be that the sun would not work. And that would make everyone sadpanda.

Reminds me of every time I try to understand Einstein and his ideas of spacetime, relativity, and whatnot. I always get lost - usually when I see the image of a planet bending spacetime, or an animation of a planet orbiting a star with the bent spacetime grid thing below it.

edit - I'm barely awake. I'm not sure the above post made any sense.

I hate to argue with someone who doesn't even exist on the forums yet, but as far as proven physics goes, you're wrong again. You are merely stating one of many theories about why matter and energy have that relationship. As well, that theory fails to explain how light acts as both matter and energy simultaneously....

I wish I knew anything about it but I don't, lol. All I know is she was an astrophysics student and was all like "FFFFFFWAH?" when I mentioned people were talking about this.

PS: She's not online anymore

Ahhh...astrophysics. A region of physics that deals with, well, everything.

That's like saying I am an engineer, instead of specifying what kind of engineer I am.

Not exactly, its may include a lot of things, but it doesn't include -everything-. But again, not online anymore, so not really any point in continuing this.
