WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MATTER MEETS ANTIMATTER ? ( The existence of both has been proved experimentally )
I'd be interested to see the theoretical Interaction Equations.
Oblige me please.

The sumtotal of all matter and energy in the universe is a constant. When matter and animatter collide, the result is not
NOTHING, but the release of huge amounts of energy in the form of
Gamma Photons. Each gamma photon carries 511 Kilo electronVolts of energy. If you apply E=mc^2, you will see that the matter-energy equation still holds true.
Antimatter~ example
When a very fast proton collides with a Hydrogen neucleus consisting of 1proton only, the proton and it's kinetic energy is converted to a neutron, an
antiproton and a meson. The total electrical and the baryon charges are
conserved in this materialization.
But the question is, if there is matter(mostly) and antimatter in this Universe, why doesnt it self-destruct?
