Maybe I got sidetracked by answering this question raised by DYBAD

QUOTE: So photon is the basic component of both matter and energy ?

The original point is actually proposing a theory to explain Gabriel's question:

QUOTE: I agree, I don't think Nonexistence fits here either. I don't see how this allows Antimatter Manipulation either

People frequently misunderstood what annihilation means. Annihilation does not really destroy energy (else conservation of energy will be violated) The apparent destruction that is observed in annihilation is that the matter and antimatter no longer exist in the form they once were (i.e. put a tree and a tree consist of antimatter, you no longer have a tree) but converted into something else, usually photons in the form of gammar rays

Thus what I was trying to say that I agree with Gabriel that empty space had little to do with antimatter

(unless you are messing with the particle-antiparticle piars that constantly pop in and out of existence in a vacuum, however the consequence can be serious, similar to how black holes torn apart such particle antiparticle pairs. Since you now have a particle or antiparticle escaped because its partner is being caught in the black hole, that means something is created from the vacuum in a sufficiently large time scale, thus the energy must be coming from somewhere-the black hole's mass. This is the basics behind Hawking Radiation (i.e. how black holes theoretically evaporated into a burst of gammar rays))

In short VM has little to do with AM thus AM should not be one of its applications
