Science
In 1898, Arthur
Schuster, a British physicist, proposed antimatter stellar systems that were indistinguishable from our solar system and coined the
names "antimatter" and "anti-atoms". He theorized that matter and antimatter would annihilate each other
to produce energy. Today, billions of dollars are being spent on antimatter
research and development throughout the world. You are going to learn
about the high energy physics, plasma cosmology, and comets.

Elementary
Particles
In 1928, Paul
Dirac developed an equation for combining quantum theory and special
relativity. The solution contained an electron with positive energy,
and a positive electron (positron) with negative energy. For over
fifty years, physicists have been building accelerators to discover new elementary
particles (six quarks, six leptons, six anti-quarks and six anti-leptons)
along with their force carriers. Scientists have confirmed matter-antimatter
symmetry between the elementary particles.
- Plasma
Cosmology
In 1966, Hannes
Alfven developed the Plasma
Universe Model. In the center of galaxies, there are two black holes.
The black holes are ejecting matter and antimatter in opposite directions into space
to form spiral arms of matter and antimatter stars. Anthony
Peratt has developed computer models that simulated the known galaxies
in the universe. In our galaxy, the sun is one of the billions of stars
that are composed of matter. There are a similar number of antimatter stars.
- Comets
In 2002,
Norm Hansen announced
the discovery that comets are composed of antimatter
to joint meeting of American
Physical Society and American
Astronomical Society. The comet's plasma coma and tails are created by the
solar wind and dust particles blasting antimatter fragments, dust and ions
off the comet's surface. Light and x-rays, which we see, is produced from
matter-antimatter annihilation taking place on the comet's surface and in
the plasma coma and tails. Sungrazer comets
produce enormous explosions and solar flares when they collided with the sun.
Within the Milky Way Galaxy, matter-antimatter
symmetry exists from the matter/antimatter black holes,
stars/anti-stars, planets/anti-planets, asteroids/comets, solar/comet dust particles, solar wind/comet ions, elements/anti-elements,
quarks/anti-quarks and leptons/anti-leptons.
