Please, answer this:

--- Quote ---In the tech proposal for antimatter, you write that antimatter has "...the best size-to-weight ratio of any material ...". Isn't that a bit meaningless? Maybe it should be "...the best energy-to-mass ratio of any material ...", like you say in the Antimatter Weaponry tech description? --Ouroboros

What mean size-to-weight ratio? 8)

Duke:
I agree that size-to-weight is not correct.
Actually I see two ratios relevant for a material to be used as a fuel:
volume-to-mass (=density) and
energy-to-mass.

In russian version I translate it as "вес топлива к полученной энергии" - "fuel weight to getting energy" or something like this, google say this

Duke:
It's not just weight/mass to energy. Think of gas. Volume is also important.

@Kildor: Help !

Possible "size to energy", weight/mass or volume ~ relative size?
