Why This Stuff Costs $2700 Trillion Per Gram - Antimatter at CERN

Foreword: I dropped out of school to work after grade10 so i'm sort of assuming that if 1 type of matter has an opposite anti matter therefore every type of matter must have an opposite too so here's something to tickle everyone's thinking pickle:
-Maybe the reason anti-matter is so difficult to find/detect is because instead of the common thought that when all forms of matter and anti-matter come into contact they annihilate each other immediately in a big flash of light: The speed of the reaction between the two opposite forms of matter is determined by the structural volatility of the type of matter in question.
i.e. the speed at which hydrogen and anti-hydrogen cancel each other out compared to the speed of a more stable element and it's opposite.
In other words: Everything hasn't cancelled itself out yet because it's still a work in-progress. In the event that a type of particle and it's anti particle can't cancel each other instantly, they form a sort of symbiotic fight to the death relationship that we observe as varying forms of decay and aging.
