I knew it was good… but I had no idea:

How much antimatter is needed to heat 1 T of H2 from cryogenic liquid to 4000 K? About 300 micrograms. 1200 T of H2 requires 360 milligrams of antimatter. If that antimatter is cryogenically frozen solid antihydrogen, it occupies about 4 mL. Somewhat less than a teaspoon of the worst ice cream ever. That’s a 10 billion to 1 mass lever!
