Antimatter

Just as I was browsing aimlessly, I came the site on digital fortress - Dan Brown's book - that got famous post DaVinciCode. http://www.danbrown.com/secrets/ has a lot of interesting information and I found it amusing to learn abt a lot of new things. There was a mention of antimatter, anti-proton and anti-electron and I would hav ethought that the anti-proton is electron and anti-electron is proton . But it isn't so. There is also a mention of antimatter.
Very interesting indeed... Wiki has done a fab job to give details on the subject. Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiproton and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter
Physics was one of my fav subjects in school and college and miss reading thru details like these now a days.
Well, but I do wonder what's the use of this anti-particle?
