Where is all the antimatter? | Unsolved Mystery in Physics

[@DrBecky]

This video is a bit different than my usual fare on this channel - less casual chat and more "documentary" style! I feel like everything I've learnt over the past 18 months making content (and everything Editing Becky has learnt) has all come together for this video. I know it's not perfect but I'm really proud of it - so I hope you all like it too 🤗 Edit: Voice was at 100%, music at 15% - I checked levels on headphone and computer speakers and it sounded great. If music was too loud (perhaps a TV) check your audio settings 👍 Edit: I said antimatter has the opposite value for all properties at the beginning - note this doesn’t include the mass 👍

As a chemistry person who also loves physics, this is something I must know: Have they managed to create diatomic anti-hydrogen? That is, the molecular form/H2. Have we been able to observe positron bonding? I mean, as far as I'm aware it should behave identically to matter, but I'm so curious.

[@theCodyReeder]

My crackpot hypotheses is that the total average across the whole universe comes out to equal matter and antimatter but our pocket of the universe had to have an asymmetry for us to exist. This pocket had to be of a certain size to give us enough time to develop. But now that we are here and no longer protected by the anthropic principal I’m expecting that at any moment a powerful gamma ray background will replace the microwave background as the edge of our matter bubble comes into view.

[@giantnanomachine]

Can anti-matter particles only annihilate with their exact counterpart? Or does, for example, a collision of a neutron and a positron "take away the neutron's electron" and leave a proton (and a bunch of energy)?

[@boring7823]

When not in a nucleus a neutron is very unstable and decays in about 15 minutes. The emitted electron is normal and will annihilate as usual. There is no indication that this decay can be induced by an interaction with a positron, however, the lifetime of neutron decay isn't one value, there are two different, accurately measured, values depending on how you do the measurement. There are several possible things that could trigger this result so it is not certain that this particular interaction won't occur. Nevertheless, in general, it's exact matches only.

[@timalphabeaver7026]

'Annihilation' between an antiproton and a neutron, for example, does happen because they both contain up and down quarks - which are the things that will actually annihilate. Neutron-positron annihilation wouldn't happen because positrons don't contain up or down quarks and neutrons don't contain electrons.

[@tomasramirez4985]

Physics and astrophysics are probably the most relevant fields of studies for humankind. However, have in mind that Dr. Becky and 95% of the physicists in the world base their theories, studies, experiments and predictions ON THE FAILED CURRENT STANDARD MODEL. The worst part is that every physicist that decides to work outside that FAILED MODEL, he or she is immediately put in the "crazy people box". This is the reason why there has not been any major breakthrough in physicists since Einstein, more than 90 years ago. If you go to study this, good luck, but have in mind that if you EVER attempt to do any real science, you will have all these people (including Dr. Becky) against you.

You are turning into quite a force of nature yourself, Dr Becky. Your evolving production quality, the depth of information - while keeping it accessible and fun is just impressive. I must confess, my brain outgassed a bit while watching. It was confusingly trying to operate anti-matter as if it was dark matter thinking we surely know it has mass that happily dances with "our" gravity. Until I paid attention and remembered "ohhhh.....anti-matter....Not the kind of matter(s) Dr Becky normally talks about". The banana segment was fantastic. As a safety-conscious gentleman, I of course never bring a banana to bed to not risk being blasted to dust via beta-decay. But you reminded me of course that we are talking Beta^+ decay. Those bananas are actively trying to annihilate me during sleep. I had totally forgotten. :D I can not wait to meet my nephew again soon - to attack him with a bona fide anti-matter gun. (I promise I will not scare him from eating bananas). Such a wonderful way of being reminded of all the lovely science and questions one does not think about every day or every month.

[@PaulPaulPaulson]

We basically group matter and antimatter by "what exists around us" and "what only exists if we create it in a lab". But for particles from which we can only produce the particle _and_ its anti-particle in an accelerator, how do we define which one is the anti variant? Why don't we group them by physical properties, like charge? Wouldn't it make sense to have protons and positrons in the same group? Is there any property that protons and electrons have in common, but positrons and anti-protons don't?

[@timalphabeaver7026]

You could group them by charge if you wanted - they're called 'positive particles' and 'negative particles' instead of 'matter particles' and 'antimatter particles'. Whatever property you're interested in determines which property you'll group them by.

By the way, he also coined the word “robotics.” How’s that for having an impact on Science Fiction !!

[@NOLNV1]

For others like me who don't really get how this all works out: One thing I wondered about and looked up is: Wouldn't annihilation keep producing more new pairs of particles and anti particles of smaller types. For someone like me who doesn't know much about the particles, I found the answer and the reason it becomes photons in form of gamma rays is because photons have no anti particle, they are neutral and don't interact in the relevant ways, so they are essentially their own anti particle. In the cases where they do though, all these reactions should produce the exact same amount of particles and anti particles, and as far as scientists can tell from experiments, they always do. But, if that was the case the big bang would have produced all manner of particle and anti particle pairs that came together, and annihilated, and the entire universe then would be nothing but light... So something is asymmetric and a bit fishy, hence the topic of this great video!

[@garygenerous8982]

Two questions for you guys that have always confused me about antimatter. First how exactly do you get anti-neutrons? I mean take an electron and mush a positive charge into it and you get a positron and vice versa for the anti proton I can grasp but I don’t understand how you can get an anti version of something with no charge. Second question is if you take an anti hydrogen atom and smash it into a larger atom of regular matter does the whole atom get consumed or just a single proton and electron? So let say you shoot a stream of anti hydrogen atom into a bar of lead would you eventually end up with a bar of Thallium (assuming you could only have each atom of the lead interact with a single anti hydrogen) or would you end up with nothing at all but a large quantity of energy?

The antimatter theory needs to be tweaked in that there may very well be a different correlation between matter and antimatter than the one proposed here by physicists.

[@redhaegar]

My theory is this: I think the balance between matter and anti matter was almost perfect and the insignificant difference between matter and anti matter is what made our universe. We need to think big to understand. We do no thave a scale to see the insignificance of our existing universe.

[@smbhquasar1527]

[@rob5918]

During the big bang, there were equal quantities of matter and anti-matter created, but the distribution was asymmetric. Where the quantities were even, the particles annihilated each other. Where there was an excess of one type, the minor quantity was annihilated, leaving areas with only matter or antimatter. So to get to the point of the video, the anti-matter is still there. There are whole galaxies made of anti-matter.
