RE: When Elena met Isolde, aka the antimatter CERN tour on the back of a puma

in #steemstem • 7 years ago

This sentence looks pretty confusing to me. Let me try to decipher it piece by piece. When a given particle meets the associated antiparticle, they indeed annihilates. With the available energy, this could lead to the creation of other particles.

Antimatter is not very common in our universe, because for some unknown reasons that physicists are trying to get, there was slightly more matter than antimatter in the early days. Therefore, after possible pairs annihilate, only some matter was left.

Antimatter therefore needs to be produced. This could work in particle accelerators, cosmic rays, etc... using the opposite process as mentioned above. With some energy, we can create some particle-antiparticle pairs.

Does it clarify?

    Sorry for my ugly writing.

    Yesterday I just read an article about this. After getting an explanation from you I already understand a little about this. I will learn more about this in physics books in the library.

    thank you for your response @lemouth

      Thanks, I just made a post about About Tachyon Particles. I hope you can take the time to read and respond to what the dullness of my writing is. I just need correction, do not expect more. Hopefully you can consider this.

      Thanks @lemouth
