What is antimatter, what does it do, and has it been discovered now?

Antimatter is the anti-state of normal matter. When positive and antimatter meet, the two sides annihilate each other and cancel each other, occurring ** and generating a huge amount of energy.

Positrons and negative protons are both antiparticles, and they have the same amount of electricity but opposite electricity compared to electrons and protons. Scientists imagine that in the universe it is possible for a person to exist entirely composed of antiparticles, that is, antimatter. Electrons and antielectrons have the same mass but have opposite charges.

The same is true for protons and antiprotons. Particles and antiparticles are not only opposite in charge, but also in all other properties that can be reversed.

Antimatter and matter are opposites. They are two different concepts. As we all know, matter makes up the world, while atoms make up matter, and the nucleus is located at the center of the atom. The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, and negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus.

The protons in the nucleus have a positive charge, and the electrons and protons carry the same amount of electricity, but one positive and one negative. Protons have a mass of 1840 times the mass of electrons, and they form a strong asymmetry in mass. This has attracted the attention of scientists.

As a result, some scientists at the beginning of the 20th century believed that the two were so different that there should be another particle with the same charge but opposite signs. For example, there is a particle with the same mass of protons but with a negative charge and another particle with the same mass of electrons but with a positive charge.

After the universe is large, a huge amount of energy is released, and this energy is matter, that is, particles, there are positive particles and antiparticles, they collide with each other and annihilate each other, but the uncertainty principle of quantum theory shows that there is no such thing as perfection in the universe, so C (positive and negative particle reversal) P (take the mirror image) T (take time reversal, that is, reverse the direction of motion) joint symmetry is established, and the microscopic scale cp joint symmetry does not hold, that is, T symmetry fails, so that antiparticles can become positive particles in a high-energy environment, The opposite process is also allowed, but the laws of physics are not exactly the same for positive particles and antiparticles, so a small number of particles remain after the positive and negative particles are extinguished, and we can never even figure out whether the residual particles are positive particles or antiparticles (if the residual particles are antiparticles, we can just reverse the name, this is just a man-made name), these residual positive particles are also positive matter with positive energy to form galaxies and ourselves, In the absence of human interference, only antimatter existed at the beginning of the universe (with the exception of black holes). With the development of science, human beings' curiosity about the elementary particles of all things is becoming more and more intense, so generations of high-energy particle colliders continue to accelerate the proton beam to collide in order to be able to see smaller (because the higher the energy, the smaller we can detect), and at the same time, the high enough energy can simulate the microscopic approximate environment of the universe, which is the positive particles under high energy to become antiparticles, that is, antimatter, but once the antimatter comes into contact with the positive energy of the positive matter, it will immediately cancel out with the positive energy. Therefore, there is no way to capture, there is no way and clue to solve this problem at present, and this will also be the biggest technical barrier to restrict the realization of time and space in the future, if there can be a continuous negative energy area and enough space-time curl, you can shuttle in three-dimensional time (light will deflect when passing through a large energy (mass) object, which proves that space can be curled as long as the energy is large enough). Black holes are the most bizarre phenomenon in nature, and the huge energy generated by black holes makes all the laws of physics collapse the moment they reach the singularity, so everything is possible there, including, of course, antimatter.

The conclusion is that antimatter has existed in black holes (only theoretically), but that the current form of human thought has no hope of accessing and exploiting them, even though they are so attractive and have high application value.

Compared with the electrons and protons of all matter in the universe that we know, antimatter has the same electricity but opposite electricity. What happens when antimatter and positive matter meet? They will destroy each other, the two particles will disappear, and their masses will be completely transformed into particles carried by some kind of high-energy force, such as photons or gluons.

We call this process "annihilation."

In particle physics, antimatter is an extension of the concept of antiparticles, which are made up of antiparticles, just as ordinary matter is made of ordinary particles. For example, an antiproton and an antielectron (positron) can form an antihydrogen atom, just as an electron and a proton form a hydrogen atom of ordinary matter.

The combination of matter and antimatter causes the combination of particles and antiparticles to annihilate and the release of high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other pairs of positive and negative particles with lower energy.

Antimatter cannot be found in nature except in fleeting small quantities (e.g. due to phenomena such as radiation, decay, or cosmic rays). This is due to the fact that if antimatter does not exist in an artificial environment such as a physical laboratory, it will inevitably come into contact with natural matter and annihilate. Antiparticles and some stable antimatter (e.g., antihydrogen) can be artificially produced in very small amounts, but not enough to test the theory of these substances.

According to the "theory of positive and negative geometry" and from a philosophical point of view, "antimatter" is immaterial space (i.e., pure vacuum).

1, The inverse of a positive number is a negative number. Negative numbers are not positive, and the magnitude of negative numbers is an indication of how much is owed.

2, The inverse length opposite to the length is the negative length. The negative length is not the length, and the amount of the negative length is the distance that is indicated.

3. The opposite area of the area is the negative area. The negative area is not the area, and the amount of the negative area is the size of the "empty area". (The empty area of the void cross-section is referred to as the empty area).

4. The anti-volume as opposed to the volume is the negative volume. Negative volume is not volume, and the amount of negative volume is the size of the volume.

5. The anti-object that is opposed to the object is a negative object. The negative object is not the object, and the number of negative objects is the magnitude of the volumetric space.

6. Antimatter as opposed to matter is negative matter. Negative matter is immaterial, and the amount of negative matter is the size of the immaterial space.
