A community portal about Antimatter with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: In particle physics, antimatter extends the concept of the antiparticle to matter, wherein if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other, the two annihilate —that is, they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with Einstein's equation E = mc 2. This gives rise to high-energy photons or other particle–antiparticle pairs. The resulting particles are endowed with an amount of kinetic energy equal to the difference between the rest mass of the products of the annihilation and the rest mass of the original particle-antiparticle pair, which is often quite large.
As reported in the April 27, 2009 NewScientist article " Where is all the antimatter? " one of the more perplexing unanswered questions in modern astrophysics is "Why is there more matter than anti-matter?".
Antimatter has fought a losing battle since the beginning of the universe, even though there should be just as much of it around as regular matter. Scientists are turning to particle physics to search for clues. Credit: CERN

Dan Brown’s bestseller Angels & Demons hits the big screen today. For anyone who managed to miss the mega-bestseller, the plot hinges on a plot to blow up the Vatican using an antimatter bomb — a tiny device with the power of a nuclear warhead. They may sound good in a thriller, but are antimatter bombs more than just fiction?
In principle, antimatter looks like the ultimate explosive. Matter and anti-matter annihilate each other on contact, releasing energy according to Einstein’s... Read Full Story

XIII Death – Matter and Antimatter Every particle has a corresponding antimatter particle. Antimatter has an opposite charge to ordinary matter, like the negatively-charged electron which has a positive antiparticle known as a positron (familiar to all viewers of Star Trek!). When a particle meets its antiparticle partner they annihilate each other in pure energy, which then goes on to form other particles. But here’s the weird thing; although we know that antimatter exists, the universe is... Read Full Story
We have shown in this blog that defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions is more consistent with observations than defining it in terms of four-dimensional space-time.

In the Imagineer’s article Why is mass quantized? Oct. 4, 2007 it was shown that the observed properties of all particles could be explained and predicted in terms resonant system in continuous non-quantized form of mass.
However, it is also possible to determine the outcome of particle interactions based on the existence of this resonant system.
On pages 59 and 60 of Brian Cregg book “ The God Effect ” he describes experiments that show how photons interact with different polarizing... Read Full Story
