They are mirror images of the other: protons have a certain weight and are positively charged, anti-protons have the same weight but are negatively charged. Antimatter is just matter with an opposite charge.

∙ 9y agoAccording to how we understand our Universe AT THIS TIME, the amount of matter and anti-matter should be about the same. Obviously, however, that isn't the case. At the present time, we just don't know why.

What is the only concept in the universe that cannot be truly classified as a form of matter?
Anti- Matter
If anti matter exists where does it exists does it exists within matter only?
First of all. There is no doubt about the reality of anti matter. Anti matter is a fact. 2 examples where we have spotted anti matter, or anti particles. In CERN's LHC (large hadron collider) the scientist spotted a antiparticle after the collision of the particles. We have reached the conclusion: When matter is created there is also created anti matter. The problem is that when this particle, anti particle pair is created, the particles instantly annihilates each other turning them selves into energy in the form of light. A second example is when lightning strikes. Through the observation of gamma radiation emmitted when lightning strikes we have reached the conclusion that a anti particle has to be created. Today we even use anti particles to detect cancer and even remove tumors from the human body. I don't have enough knowledge to give you have detailed explaination on how they do this. But if you do a little research on the internet im sure you will find more information on the subject. Edit: And no, anti matter will not "only" excist within matter. Because when matter meets anti matter it annihilates into pure energy, meaning that matter and anti matter can't excist together in that way. ~Stenpung~
What tiny particles found in an atom that have negative charges?
I matter, Electron. In anti-matter anti-protons.
Does anti matter travel backwards in time?
No, all five types of anti-matter obey chronological progression.
Why can't be matter stored?
antimatter particles are just like matter particles, except they have a negative charge. So, when anti matter collide with matter they would immediately annihilate each other. and we know that everything in our surroundings is matter, so it is difficult to store it. It can be only stored in Vacuum.
What actually is present in vacuum?
A vacuum consist of anti-matter; the opposite of matter...matter is something and anti-matter is nothing. When something is added to the vacuum the anti-matter is displaced and only matter will now remains. If you were made out of anti-matter then your observable results would be the opposite. Matter and anti-matter cannot exist in the same space; only one of the two can exist in any place at any one time. When you remove matter from a space the only thing that can exisist in that space is anti-matter!
Are elements matter?
Yes. not only elements all particle in the universe are matter. From Sambit Pal India. *********************** Anti particles are not matter they are anti-matter.
Is it true or false that there are only two types of matter in the world?
True. Matter and anti-matter
Why cant you store anti matter?
As soon as anti-matter comes in contact with matter, the two annihilate. As such, placing anti-matter into any container made of matter would result in both being annihilated. The only way to maintain anti-matter for any length of time is to keep it isolated from matter. Magnetic fields can do this for a short time, but invevitably the anti-matter and the matter meet each other.
What is the only concept in the universe that cannot be truly classified as a form of matter?
Anti- Matter
What is something that has no science matter?
The absence of matter exists only in a vacuum. Modern science has revealed the exists of anti-matter. However, it could be debated on whether anti-matter is actually considered a form of matter, or the exact opposite of matter.
What was destroyed within the first seconds after the big bang?
Virtually all matter and anti-matter were annihilated shortly after the universe started expanding. Only a fraction of a percent of all matter survived that annihilation, and virtually no anti-matter.
What happens when anti-matter is created?
Anti matter isn't created, but "formed". No one can create matter (or anti-matter) nor destroy it.
If anti matter exists where does it exists does it exists within matter only?

What is the only object that isn't matter?
I suggest electromagnetic radiation. There is anti-matter, but this is really another form of matter, and I guess you want something entirely separate from matter.
Is anti-matter a state of matter?
Not as such, no. Antimatter is just matter that is charged backwards from what we think of as "normal" matter. it can be a solid, liquid, gas or plasma just like normal matter. the only difference is that antimatter uses positrons and anti-protons instead of electrons and protons to create an atom.
What is an antonym for matter?
An antonym for matter is anti-matter.
