Antimatter

Antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. The branch of physics that deals with the study of the existence and interactions of atomic particles is known as Particle physics and the world largest center for this study is in Switzerland called 'CERN- European Organization for Nuclear Research'. A CERN physicist, Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web (www), world's first-ever web site and web server.

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass, everything you can touch is Matter... including you!. A Particle is a small object that constitutes the structure of matter much larger than atoms and molecules that is sufficient enough to determine its attribute, volume & mass, and it exist in three types, electrons, protons and neutrons. The word Anti-, in thesaurus equivalent meaning is similar to opposing, dead set against, unwilling, defiant, challenging or opposed to.

The Big Bang model was a natural outcome of Einstein's General Relativity as applied to a homogeneous universe. However, in 1917, the idea that the universe was expanding was thought to be absurd. So Einstein invented the cosmological constant as a term in his General Relativity theory that allowed for a static universe. In 1929, Edwin Hubble announced that his observations of galaxies outside our own Milky Way showed that they were systematically moving away from us with a speed that was proportional to their distance from us.

The concept of Antimatter begins in 1928 with a British born physicist named Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac with his mathematical wave equation had introduce the Albert Einstein's relativity theory and Schrödinger's quantum theory are not only distinct from each other, but also oppose each other. Physicists had imagined that somewhere behind in the Exotic Objects in Deep Outer Space; there may be an Anti-you, a world that looks just like our own world, a parallel universe made of Antimatter. His theory work when the electron had a clone or mirror image particle, identical to it but with an opposite electric charge called an Antielectron or Positron in the same manner for any existing particle with proton and antiproton, neutron and antineutron.

The Antiproton Decelerator at CERN produces the low energy Antiprotons including the synthesis of Antihydrogen atoms. Antiparticles can be generated by colliding subatomic particles. Antiparticles created in a laboratory have a short life span as they are accelerated to collide into normal particles and annihilate. Matter and antimatter, or particles and antiparticles follows or attracts but when comes close to each other explodes and disappear leaving behind the energy. Albert Einstein's E = mc² - mass is concentrated energy suggest, that matter can be created with energy and energy can be created with matter.

Antimatter is used in medicine for brain scans but research projects have also investigated the use of Antimatter as Fuel of the Future and space missions.
