No corpse. Matter and anti-matter anihilate each other, there would be
nothing, no corpse, no remains of any sort, gone.

logic would tell ya when the big bang occured, their had to have been an = amount of matter and anti matter, the result would be a cataclismic annaliation of the 2, resulting in a universe with neather, so I wonder why do we see matter still.
This is old science. There's work at CERN (big particle accelerator in Switzerland) that shows there is a disparity between the amount of matter and anti-matter created under big-bang like conditions, slightly favouring matter. You still don't actually get enough matter left over to create all the objects we see in the universe, but you do get more matter. I'm expecting this problem to be resolved in the next few decades, probably by showing that antimatter is in some way unstable and so doesn't have the lifespan matter does.
