have they proved anti matter exists? i thought energy could never be created or destroyed

Yea, antimatter does exist and is created by humans in things like particle accelerators (the most expensive substance ever). Also, some radioactive sources emit positrons.
Yes the idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed is correct, but you have to consider mass a type of energy. Einstein showed this with the famous E=mc^2. So if mass is a type of energy, then when antimatter collides with regular matter and emits gamma rays its just a conversion of one type of energy to another, 'mass' energy to 'gamma ray' energy. No energy is created or destroyed. And when radioactive isotopes emit energy, they lose some of their mass.
Think about this... If they can create antimatter in a particle accelerator, and antimatter annihilates with regular matter, how can they store the antimatter? If they put it in a container, it would annihilate with the regular matter in the container and disappear into gamma rays.

MDMC said: Your saying that when a device observes which hole, it has to alter the particle/wave in the very act of observing it?
Isn't there a method of detection that doesn't alter it? I suppose not.
What about the particle interfering with itself? That is strange!
At the level of classic direct observation energy is flung at the article and the rebound is the data that results in the observable image .. this is oK and completely fair , but imagine that on the level of the photon the sensor must flood the area with particles smaller than the object being watched .. this is difficult and instead we are throwing rocks into a pond to measure how flat it is ..

On a somewhat tangential note, I just thought I'd add that uncertainty isn't a result of observation.
Yes it's true that you can't observe without interfering with the experiment, but it turns out uncertainty in wave-particle duality isn't due to this fact.
The theory of quantum mechanics is basically a set of equations based on assumptions regarding the natural world which have been confirmed experimentally -- like any theory. As a result, a theory can not predict anything that isn't compatible with its mathematics. In quantum's case, it turns out that due to the limitations of the equations, you can not know precisely both the momentum and location of a particle/wave. Whether or not this is a fundamental truth or simply the result of a hitherto imperfect theory remains to be seen.
I just thought I'd point that out. Even without the observer effect there's still uncertainty.

How can you have an uncertainty in your observation without making an observation?

There is uncertainty because the laws that regulate the actions there are unknown/not properly described by the set of laws we know .. thus predictability is lacking
Without predictability there is uncertainty ..
However , Quantum state probability laws suggest that there are physical laws that determine the movement of photons etc .. I.e the dynamic wave form is likely to stabilize in a shape that is in large determined by the probability that it should do so - thus Quantum states are normalized probability curves .

Antimatter is stored in the center of a vacuum with a magnetic field. Positrons and antiprotons can be stored in this manner. Neutrinos can not be stored because they have no charge.
I don't know much about quantum theory, but isn't one of the points that there is no such thing as "objective" observation, because including an instrument ("observer") in the system the same as altering it? Is there any way to observe a truly closed system if one is not inside of it?

How do you know that a lacking predictability is the cause of an incomplete model instead of a feature of reality?

How do i know ? .. by self denial i guess 
There is nothing to suggest otherwise .. Look at some early images of subatomic particles .. then look at more improved images and the clarity begins to show ..
At first sub atomic particles look like small self similar lumps then the ordered diversity begins to emerge ..
Order through Chaos .. or ... from the brink of chaos then onward to complexity

Very cool looking images, but what does it mean?

What about the EPR-paradox and related experiments? They suggest that god does play dice as far as I understand (=not very far).

Heres the Thing ..
All new things form at first as cloudy images emerging from the unknown (but not the unknowable)
sailing ships were not visible to islanders who had no knowledge of them , they could be offshore quite visible for days and weeks , but until the islanders recognized them as such Sailing ships were considered to be variants of Clouds ..
The sub atomic particles are first imaged as very rough spherical cloudy shapes .. have a look at the antimatter vortices .. they are generally imaged as self similar cloudy units .. but as the resolution improves we see a way whole lot more character and diversity emerging
The charts above show the complexity of the sub atomic particles behavior .. but they do not demonstrate chaos . This is the common history of all things we know of .. the rules governing their behavior may be unknown to us but there are rules .
Look at the second of the pics above .. each particle is demonstrating precise geometrical paths ..
This is simply as far as we are aware the nature of all things big or small .. there is no unknowable chaotic random meaningless events or articles to proove otherwise ..

quantum mechanics is sure an amazing subject/thing. If I had the vast mental capacity/plasticity for mathematics and interest in physics then that's where I'd be. Shit, for where I want to go, I may end up trying to take an intro to quantum mechanics course.
I was reading a book talking about how Einstein wasn't a fan of quantum physics, as the answers weren't clear cut as Newtonian physics.
I think it's beautiful though.
As for the double slit experiment with the eye/observer and resulting in a double line and not the wave pattern.... There must be something missing.
