Normal matter consists of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
Anti-matter is composed of (among numerous other particles) negatively charged "anti-protons" and positively charged "positrons".
Its is formed when two atoms bang into eachother. Scientists are trying to trap antimatter to study it and learn more about it.
Using E=mc2 2g of antimatter will yield the equivelent of 42.962 kilotons of TNT.
1. Why is there more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Or: Why is there matter at all? (If there were the same amount of matter and antimatter, and it came into contact, it would quickly get destroyed. 2. If antimatter is so abundant, how come we've never come in contact with it or have been able to observe it?
Sir Issac Newton proposed theory of gravity. He formulated the relation between the force of gravity and the mass and the distance between the masses. This theory failed to explain as to why there is attraction between the masses and not repulsion. With every attraction you have to have corresponding repulsion. That problem is resolved with the discovery of antimatter. So like attracts like. So matter attracts matter and antimatter attracts antimatter. This fallows that matter repel antimatter. So force of gravity between the two masses of matter or two masses of antimatter is directly proportional to the product of masses or anti-masses (Antimatter). The force of repulsion will be directly proportional to the product of mass and anti-mass (Antimatter). It fallows that the force of repulsion is inversely proportional to square of distance between the two.
Antimatter is a substance, while infinity is a representation of a never ending number. They are two separate things, and thus they cannot be compared.
They can DEFINITELY breathe antimatter
A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron, with a charge exactly opposite to the electron. Like other antimatter particles if it comes into contact with its matter counterpart the two will mutually annihilate.
Antimatter - band - was created in 1998.
Antimatter - album - was created in 1993.
Sir Issac Newton proposed the law of gravitational force between mass to mass of matter. That is the gravitational force between to masses is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two. F=G* m1*m2/r2. Here the F is the force of gravity. G is gravitational constant. m1 is mass one. m2 is mass 2. r is the distance between the masses. Now for the two masses of antimatter you have to denote the negative sign to the mass. So the formula is F = G* minus m1 * minus m2 / r2. So here the F is positive number. So there will be force of attraction between the two masses of antimatter. Hence proved.Now you take one mass of matter and another mass of antimatter. The formula is F = G * m1* minus m2 / r2. Here the F is negative number. So there is no force of attraction between the two. Instead there is force of repulsion. So the force of repulsion between the mass of matter and mass of antimatter is directly proportional to the product of masses of matter and antimatter and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two. Hence proved.So above is the mathematical proof of the gravitational force between the masses of antimatter and antimatter and gravitational force between the masses of antimatter and matter.
Antimatter was discovered in 1928 by Paul Dirac.
