What is Antimatter?

It's antimatter today!

Antimatter, also known as antimatter, is the reverse twin of the matter we know and see. After the Big Bang, matter and antimatter were formed together. However, antimatter is extremely rare in our universe. The reason for this rarity has not been resolved.

In 1928, Paul Dirac wrote an equation for the electron engineer that brought together special relativity and his kitchen. Thanks to this equation, Dirac won the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics. But his equation also created a problem.

According to the Dirac Equation, the x power was 2=4. But this equation can be two and survive x:-2 x:2. In other words, electrons with young energy, one of which has a positive energy, appear. However, according to classical physics, a number is a number in the entire energy of a quantity.

To better understand antimatter, let's first take a look at what matter consists of.

Matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. Protons in the nucleus of atoms have a positive charge. electrons have a negative charge.

Antiprotons in the atoms of an antimatter have a negative charge and antielectrons have a positive charge. We call protons in antimatter antiprotons and antielectrons positrons.

When antimatter and matter come together, they annihilate each other. And as a result of this extinction, energy is released. One gram of antimatter can cause an explosion the equivalent of a nuclear bomb.

So far, 1 nanogram of antimatter has been produced at CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research). A nanogram is equal to one billionth of a gram. We also need about 25 quadrillion kilowatt-hours of energy and more than $100 trillion in money to produce 1 gram of antimatter. So we need not be afraid, for now.
