Oh, foo.
All it is is normal radiation (Alpha, beta, gamma); just translated over to it's antimatter opposites.

That, and antimatter radiation would destroy any matter it came in contact with. It wouldn't make you mutate, it would just kill you.

Alpha = a helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons), which would become two neutrons and two antiprotons. Beta = electron, becomes a positron (one wonders why Data's head doesn't explode, but let's not dwell on that). Gamma = a photon, which isn't matter and so doesn't have an antiparticle. So basically, alpha and beta antimatter radiation would be made of antimatter, which would be anhiliated before it radiated anywhere, and in the process produce gamma rays, which would be indistinguishable from gamma rays from other sources (more or less). Keep in mind that my degree is in chemistry and not particle physics, so I may be wrong on some points. /Mr. Science

I think we have a new candidate for the rather neglected Jokes and References section.

More like an old candidate. Antimatter radiation is covered in the second one down.

yeah, they would. Of course, the only way to prove they are anti-neutrons is by colliding them with real neutrons and watching the gamma rays it produces. Which means you have to score a direct hit with another atom's nucleus (and it can't be standard hydrogen, either). So, this one might reach you. If you were standing a couple of meters away and there weren't any particularly thick sheets of paper shielding you.

Nope. In the esrevinU rorriM, antimatter radiation would be noitadiar rettamitna, which doesn't mean anything.

WOW did you just put your foot in your mouth. You dare cite math to me? Especially when I'm the one of us who did his homework before posting?
