so if you take some "nothing", and add energy (this is the photons you mention?) to split it into matter and antimatter, are you infact "creating matter"? i have always wondered how the laws of conservation of matter and the kraussian "nothing" interact with each other, I have heard that krauss' "something from nothing" is akin to "a fist made from nothing by moving fingers" but i do not have the tools to "fact check", due to my own ignorance of the topic.
Antimatter is just the opposite polarity, so as redundant as it sounds, antimatter is still matter, in the sense that it has the same mass as matter.
