Where has all the antimatter gone?

Posted April 11, 2007 3:11 PM

From PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news:

Scientists from the Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow have completed work on the inner heart of an experiment which seeks to find out what has happened to all the antimatter created at the start of the Universe. Matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts in the Big Bang but somehow the antimatter disappeared resulting in the Universe, and everything in it, including ourselves, being made of the remaining matter.

The question of where all the antimatter has gone is at the heart of the new Dominium model. The classic solution relies on a premise of asymmetric decay of antimatter resulting in an all matter Universe. However, this hypothesis is at a loss to account for ever increasing rates of expansion. Also, recent tests at LEAR have shown that antimatter can be stored for very long periods of time...this stability also conflicts with the popular-bias theory. The Dominium is an alternate explanation based on a single premise (gravitational repulsion between matter and antimatter.) Ultimately, the conclusion becomes that antimatter did not "vanish" via asymmetric decay, rather it still exists...just not "here." The solution is that every other galaxy is composed of either matter or antimatter. In antimatter galaxies, antifusion is occurring in stars of antihydrogen. The light produced is indistinguishable from that produced in our own Sun because light is the only particle that is itself the antiparticle of itself. As I said, this whole new model is currently being slowly unfolded at: http://www.scientificconcerns.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=776 If interested, read what's happened and join in
