  ABSTRACT: We know that when an electron, a matter particle, collides with a positron, an antimatter particle, they annihilate each other as the energy in the two particles is carried away by two real photons to conserve energy. The same phenomenon occurs as all matter annihilates an equal quantity of antimatter. In the case of charged particles like the proton and the antiproton, their opposite charges cancel while in the case of neutral particles like the neutron and the antineutron, their opposite spins cancel. In all cases, it is the cancellation of forward moving time for matter and backward moving time for antimatter that is responsible for the annihilation process having taken place. A reactor to produce energy for commercial use has been proposed based on matter antimatter collisions.
