Sorcerer Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Is some of the universe still antimatter and will it all eventually encounter matter and annihilate.
Mordred Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Antimatter is formed regularly, however it is short lived and is quickly annihilated from encountering normal matter. http://www.wired.com/2011/08/earth-antimatter-belt/ Not the best link but it shows antimatter via cosmic rays
Sorcerer Posted December 19, 2015 Author Posted December 19, 2015 I was meaning antimatter left over from the big bang.
mathematic Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 I was meaning antimatter left over from the big bang. Very little, if any. 1
Mordred Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 I was meaning antimatter left over from the big bang. Not any from BB. They would be annihilated the only antimatter today is recently created. Even then incredibly short lived
Sorcerer Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Is there good evidence to support this or is it a prediction? How do we know if other galaxies are made of matter or antimatter? How do we know that there isn't lone antimatter drifting in voids?
Strange Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 If there were clouds or galaxies of antimatter then there would be a point where they meet interstellar matter - this would cause distinctive radiation. There have been, and are, experiments to look for this, but so far the evidence isn't there. For example: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2009/14aug_ams/ But they have found all sorts of interesting things. For example: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2007/antimatter_binary.html http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/GLAST/news/new-structure.html
