AntiMatter Eplained





                           
 Every thing we see around us is matter . People , mountains , earth , planets , Stars , galaxies, infact the whole universe we see is made up of matter . But we know every coin has two sides , Our matter has also a another brother which is known as antimatter . So lets begin what antimatter is ?

  FORMATION

                  To know how this antimatter formed , lets clock around 13.8 billion years ago , where a violent explosion took place leading to the formation of tremendous amount of energy , this energy was converted in to early generation of matter which is known as quarks. But there is a twist, That explosion also created antimatter , this antimatter is same as matter but its particles have opposite charge that of matter. a proton have charge of +1 and a antiproton have a charge of -1 , similarly a anti electron has a charge of +1 . Big bang explosion created antimatter as well as matter .

   EXISTENCE 

                       So if big bang created matter as well as antimatter , then why we are able to see every where matter not antimatter,. This antimatter is not dangerous on its own but when it comes in contact with matter tremendous amount of energy is created and these Anhilates each other leaving behind pure energy which is given by E= MC2 , after big bang matter continously anhilated antimatter which lead to a violent period . So according to this there should be no matter as well in our present universe , we all know thats not the case. The answer is there was an imbalance in the amount of matter and antimatter , that is amount of matter was  slightly more than the antimatter , no one knows the reason. This excess of matter over antimatter was enough for the creation of the universe. 

HOW ANTIMATTER IS DIFFERENT FROM MATTER ?

                    As mentioned this antimatter is having a opposite charge that of matter but there is no visual difference between antimatter and matter . If there is an anti you sitting with you one cannot identify it until and unless you both come in contact with each other or  one goes to the subatomic level to know the composition. So the matter and antimatter behaves the same way that of matter. There are still some parts of the universe where antimmater traces are detected but they are significantly small compared to the matter . So antimatter is not a evil brother of matter.........
