This is kinda insane. Confirmation of DM particles, Dark clouds colliding and spewing out antimatter, actual natural antimatter atoms detection simply flying through the universe. I love this. What I didn't quite catch is wether the DM clouds "carry" antimatter particles, or if the collision of DM particles creates antimatter particles.

[@damedusa5107]

Sounds like the collision, but he was vague saying that end up clumping together. So no idea.

[@Napoleonic_S]

I'm confused, don't they say that DM doesn't directly interact with matter or itself? So what's actually collided?

[@damedusa5107]

@@Napoleonic_S it’s not dark matter , it’s antimatter, so opposite electric charge. Look up a positron , should help you understand. Apparently matter and antimatter when they collide annihilate each other. They can create antimatter particles in the large hadron collider but not create an antimatter atom.

[@damedusa5107]

@@Napoleonic_S so they are saying that antimatter particles have collected somewhere out there and as random antimatter particles pass through they are colliding and occasionally making an antimatter atom, in this case antimatter helium atom. These people are far too clever for me to question them. That’s my understanding, unless I’m mistaken, and it’s caused by dark matter originally but I don’t think that’s what was claimed

[@mosesunic9535]

The terminology has to be updated. An unknown particle being defined as antiparticles being in themselves particles is so convoluting

[@TevrenEndrigan]

Think of it more as "this is roughly the form that this amount of energy has, but as antimatter." Where it's often thought of as single particles, this study found a clumping of antimatter into a cluster this big instead of the usual solitary antiprotons or antineutrons they might find, they found, effectively, Helium isotopes. A Helium amount of energy, but in the mirror-mirror version of itself. Same weight as their matter counterparts, but if they touch they would both release some E=mc2 amounts of energy. Which is part of why people are interested.

[@nielsniels5008]

[@mecha-sheep7674]

If dark matter annihilates itself into antimatter and matter, which then annihilate into gamma ray, which then are slowly red-shifted into oblivion by the expansion of the universe, could that "explain" dark energy ? With less and less mass into the universe, it should expand faster. Also, what remains is always more concentrated into galaxies, meaning dark matter collisions will increase, until there is not enough dark matter.

[@akscrublord]

So how it would remain stable is by staying segregated from regular matter. Because otherwise they would make contact and annihilate.

[@BabyMakR]

It would be cool, but dark matter doesn't interact with normal matter except via gravity and is also, for some reason, invisible.

[@lonnylasagna]

@@BabyMakR its invisible because it doesn't interact electromagnetically like normal matter does... maybe if it had a positron cloud instead of an electron cloud, the remission of photons would behave differently... furthermore, maybe anti-quarks also react differently in regards to the weak nuclear force/strong nuclear force as well in a stable state, and that's why dark matter doesn't interact with normal matter?

[@stevengill1736]

Anti neutrinos?

[@keesdevos4816]

There is another anomaly that should be discussed. Cosmic particles are found to be "robbed" of their electrons (98%). But the majority of particles are being radiated by normal stars like our sun who sends lots of ionised particles. This ionisation is not "robbed" from all electrons. So something changes in due time. My suggestion would be that these ionised particles are being radiated by radiation they cannot process because the electric field they encompass doesn't change this radiation enough to fit the fine line structures of it's electron cloud. The electric field of our earth however does change the speed of radiation in ways that our matter "recognises" radiation as it has originally been produced??????????????

I have a feeling we are close to understanding dark matter and subsequently the start of the universe

[@dougaltolan3017]

Idea for matter / antimatter imbalance.... When the universe was still so hot that matter had a hard time not just turning to energy, matter and antimatter was created in equal amounts (spontaneous matter / antimatter pairs). Most of these particles would be annihilated by collision with an anti-whatever. That release of energy would randomly heat other particles causing matter / matter and antimatter / antimatter collisions, also anihilating particles. So there is balanced creation of matter / antimatter, there is balanced annihilation of matter / antimatter, and there is random annihilation of either. It's that last bit that statistically leads to an imbalance.

If there was tons of antimatter everywhere, everything would have been annihilated and we wouldn't be here. So matter and antimatter has to be spread extremely unevenly across the universe.
