Re: antimatter worlds

That's not really the question. It is possible that there are antimatter regions in the Universe, but there's no evidence of them, and most cosmologists think there are not... because a tiny initial imbalance resulted in the annihilation of all antimatter. One of the biggest questions in cosmology ...

Re: antimatter worlds

The question is not why matter and anti-matter annihilated. Assuming they were present with the same amount initially, the question is why 1% matter was left over. We know of processes that distinguish between matter and anti-matter, but these known effects don't give the right amount of matter. i ...

Re: antimatter worlds

i'm asking if that is the case, then how could particle & anti particle annihilation take place ..they are saying 100% of antimatter created during BB was annihilated with matter and left over is just 1% of matter This is the million dollar (Nobel) prize question! what do you say to the opinion...

Re: antimatter worlds

What "vastness" are you talking about? This occurred when the Universe was still small, and the matter that formed was best described as a fluid. Matter density was very high at that time. do you believe in bigbang predictions that 1. 'space and time' itself was created 2.and universe its...

antimatter worlds

we know that matter and anti matter particles were created in equal quantities in bigbang. we also know that when they are created they go on on opposite directions.so could there be an antimatter side of universe like matter dominated area.chances of them annihilating each other is meek as they emb...
