[quote=@Webmaster] "huge reduction in pressure and/or volume" Could you explain this? "isolate the antimatter unless antimatter is directly correlated with anti-energy" There's no such thing as anti-energy. Antimatter is the same as normal matter, but (in shortened terms) everything is moving in the opposite direction. "reaching absolute zero would reverse any of those things" In and of itself, it doesn't. But he hits absolute zero, he can reverse the aforementioned properties. That's why it'd be harder for Ma'at, because she would have to directly add vectors to reverse the quantum numbers while Seth can just add energy in a way that would reverse them to "naturally" create antimatter. "only places we've observed it are outer space where it's always absolute zero" This is a bit of a misstatement. Temperature is directly correlated to matter, so any matter that isn't moving at all is at absolute zero (since temperature is just particle vibration). A vacuum is empty, so it has no temperature. But space isn't a perfect vacuum, so you find a proton every few feet or so, and it has non-zero energy. We have never created or observed a truly still particle, but we've gotten [i]really[/i] close. Whether or not we've observed antimatter in outer space, I do not know. But I think you may be confusing the terms dark matter with antimatter, since there [i]is[/i] (theoretically) dark matter and energy. But that's just astrophysics way of saying that things don't behave the way we think they should behave out in space, so this is what we think is causing it, though it could totally be something else we know nothing about (cough [@GalaxyRaider] cough). "how Seth could actually control the antimatter after he made it" The same way he controls other pieces of matter. He just adds appropriate kinetic energy. Granted, it is absolutely nowhere near as precise as Ma'at's control of vectors, but he can do matter herding easily enough. "could easily just control any of it that he makes." This is also very true, but the idea is that it results in as disastrous an outcome as possible if she does. [/quote] It's because of what enthalpy is. As the energy increases due to the antimatter, the pressure and/or volume of the system must go down proportionally. Anti-energy is theoretically possible, therefor exists in MR in half of all cases. (Due to the infinity problem.) Codex have Existence based powers, not universe based like all non-Codex/non-Triggers/(previously)non-Moderators, so anti-energy is a possible factor. Especially at higher spacial dimensions where the laws of the universe in question don't necessarily apply. That's not quite true, since Ma'at can simply instantly reverse a vector to it's negative match. A 1x vector can be instantly changed to a -1x vector. That level of inherent control is why she's the third strongest in history, as will be expanded on and explained IC later on. I could have sworn that there was a statistic about antimatter content in some observation a while back. Maybe I'm misremembering and think of dark matter. Plus, you know I meant "effectively always," not "literally always." Fair enough. I don't really see how though.
