Because there is a larger symmetry that is preserved, we think. It's called CPT symmetry, meaning that if you took the mirror image, flipped the charge, and ran the experiment backwards in time, it would look identical again. Often times, a broken symmetry on one level hints at another symmetry that is preserved on a deeper level.

I don't think we have ever produced an antimatter uranium atom. So, it's a prediction that anti U-239 would produce right handed anti-electrons that needs to be tested and verified, not a fact. That's important, after all, the CP-symmetry violation was a shock for physicists in the 1960s.

[@STARDRIVE]

Excellent logic. When it comes to atoms, they only managed to create antimatter hydrogen and helium. These two elements only have a core-spin, which is easy to counter. If anyone states there are other anti elements than those two, I love to see a link to the source.

But we DO know what happens when antiparticles decay and across the board we see that the chirality, the 'handedness'of their particles is the exact opposite of their matter decays.

@@Smitology That depends. People say that entropy always increases as you travel forward in time, but that's not inherent. Rather that's due to the low entropy conditions at the specific point in time that is the big bang. I like to phrase it as "entropy always increases moving away from fixed points." This means that if the aliens were on the "other side" of the big bang moving back in time, (assuming physics is truly reversible) then entropy wouldn't help.

[@gdclemo]

If the aliens were moving backward in time then any communication between them would look like it was travelling backward in time to us, which is the same as sender and receiver being swapped. So the stream of particles encoding their reply would have to be moving backwards in time too... so it would look to us as if their reply was travelling from us to them and not the other way round, and the same for them.

At 0:23 we are seeing the right side of Maggie Smith's face on the left side of the frame in the bottom flopped shot, but that means that what appears to be the left side of her face on the right side of the frame in the above original shot is actually the right side of her face. Seems like a trivial detail, but then you have to realize that a camera takes a mirror image when it captures a shot (why the left side of an image is actually the ride side of the object in the image), however, if that image is further mirrored it does not reverse the mirroring effect so a mirror image of an object will forever have reversed symmetry making it essentially a glimpse of a parallel reality that only exists while it is being observed. In other words, when you look in the mirror you can see your parallel doppelganger but you can never see "yourself" because your reflection shows your features on the opposite side of your face and body from the side on which really are really and from the side that everyone else sees.

How to really tell what orientation an alien race is: 1) Send them some of our food. If they don’t die while eating it, they’re probably similar to us. 2) If they’re able to eat our food, send a diplomat over to shake hands with one of their diplomats. If they don’t explode into pure energy, we’re probably safe.

[@garethdean6382]

Many nuclei have an intrinsic 'spin' to them which can be aligned or anti-aligned with magnetic field. This allows you to turn nuclei into spinning tops of a sort which can be pointed in mirror directions. But as for anti-aliens? Well yeah, probably not that likely.

[@SocialDownclimber]

If we can't tell matter from antimatter in distant galaxies, how do scientists conclude that there are way more matter than antimatter in the universe?

[@HaroldoPinheiro-OK]

One possible counter argument is that galaxies often collide or even merge with each other; if there were both matter and antimatter galaxies in the universe, just one collision/merger would leave pretty clear evidence of antimatter galaxies; no such event has ever been recorded.

[@jhnoor9705]

For the past two years, I have been studying an area of math known as googology. Googology is basically the study of very large numbers and the notations that is used to express them. When you study googology in depth, you can see that the so-called scientific notation which we usually use to express large numbers is actually incredibly weak in comparison to many of the commonly used notations in googology such as Knuth's up-arrow notation, fast-growing hierarchy, Bird's Array Notation and Bashicu Matrix System, although it may not seems weak at all to an average person. This is mainly because we don't need numbers much larger than those that can be made using exponents in real life. For example, the mass of Sun is approximately 2*10^30 kg and the number of subatomic particles in the universe is approimately 10^80. Below I will show you the formal definition and some examples of expression in Knuth's up-arrow notation: a^^^^...^^^b with n uparrows = a^^^...^a^^^...^^a^^^...^^a... ...a^^^..^^a with (n-1) uparrows between each successive a's Where a^b is the same as a raised to the power tower of b First, we will take a review of addition, multiplication and exponentiation. We had all studied in school that addition is repeated counting, multiplication is repeated addition and exponentiation is repeated multiplication, mathematically: a+b = a+1+1+1...+1 (repeated b times) a*b = a+a+a...+a (repeated b times), and a^b = a*a*a*a...*a (repeated b times) Now, we will start with the double up-arrow operator, which is better known as tetration. a^^b (read this as "a tetrated to b") = a^a^a^a^...^a (b times) (a power tower of a's b terms high) Keep in mind that exponents are always right-associative, so a^b^c^d is the same as a^(b^(c^d)) For example, 2^^3 = 2^2^2 = 2^4 = 16 2^^4 = 2^2^2^2 = 2^2^4 = 2^16 = 65536 2^^5 = 2^2^2^2^2 = 2^2^2^4 = 2^2^16 = 2^65536 = 10^(log10(2)*65536) using rules of logarithm = approx. 2*10^19728 (a number WITH 19729 DIGITS!!!!!!) 3^^3 = 3^3^3 = 3^27 = 7,625,597,484,987 (approximately 7.6 trillion for short) 10^^^3 = 10^10^10 = 10^(10 billion) = 1 followed by ten billion zeroes Now do you see how powerful tetration is in comparison to scientific notation? But that's not the end of the story. Just like how tetration is repeated exponentiation, pentation is repeated tetration, which is normally denoted as triple up arrows (^^^) In summary, the n arrow operator is repeated (n-1) arrow operator After that, I suggest you to learn the definition of fast-growing hierarchy, which is basically like this: f_n(a) = (f_(n-1))^a(a), when n is a successor ordinal, or in other words, f_(n-1)(f_(n-1)(...(f_(n-1)(a))...)) (nested n times) When n is a limit ordinal, f_n(a) is defined as f_(n[a])(a), where n[a] is the n-th element of the fundamental sequence of the ordinal n For the definition of successor and limit ordinals, you can search it yourself in Googology Wiki Now, here's an equation for you. Given that 1/f_x(100) is the amount of DNA I inherit from my mom, try to find the ordinal x. The ordinal x here is known as my DNA ordinal Here's the approximate value of x in Bashicu Matrix System: (0,0,0)(1,1,1)(2,2,2)(3,3,3)(3,3,0)(4,4,1)(5,5,2)(6,6,2)(7,7,0)(8,8,1)(9,9,2)(10,9,2)(11,9,0)(12,10,1)(13,11,2)(13,11,2)(13,11,1)(14,12,2)(14,11,1)(15,12,2)(15,11,1)(16,12,0)(17,13,1)(18,14,2)(18,14,2)(18,14,1)(19,15,2)(19,14,1)(20,15,2)(20,14,1)(21,15,0)(22,16,1)(23,17,2)(23,17,2)(23,17,1)(24,18,2)(24,17,1)(25,18,2)(25,17,0)(26,18,1)(27,19,2)(27,19,2)(27,19,1)(28,20,2)(28,19,1)(29,20,2)(29,19,0)(30,20,1)(31,21,2)(31,21,2)(31,21,1)(32,22,2)(32,21,1)(33,22,2)(33,21,0)(34,22,1)(35,23,2)(35,23,2)(35,23,1)(36,24,2)(36,23,1)(37,24,2)(37,23,0)(38,24,1)(39,25,2)(40,25,2)(40,25,1)(41,26,2)(41,22,1)(42,23,2)(42,23,2)(42,23,1)(43,24,2)(43,23,1)(44,24,2)(44,23,0)(45,24,1)(46,25,2)(47,25,2)(47,25,1)(48,26,1)(49,27,0)(50,28,1)(51,29,2)(52,29,2)(52,29,1)(53,30,0)(54,31,1)(55,32,2)(56,32,2)(56,32,0)(57,33,1)(58,34,2)(59,34,2)(59,34,0)(60,35,1)(61,36,2)(62,36,2)(62,36,0)(63,37,1)(64,38,2)(65,38,2)(65,38,0)(66,39,1)(67,40,2)(68,40,2)(68,40,0)(69,41,1)(70,42,2)(71,42,2)(71,42,0)(72,43,1)(73,44,0)(74,45,1)(75,44,0)... ...

Well we can test. Are they produced in the same numbers in this collision? Do they travel the same distance before decaying? And so on. If we notice a discrepancy we can probe it to find out WHY the difference exists. So far the two types have been pretty identical.
