What this means for me and my dedicated research partner Dr Isla Gideon (@Dr_Gideon) is particularly rousing; it’s the most promising opportunity to prove our theory of missing antimatter to date. Allow me to elaborate a little...
The standard model holds that equal quantities of antimatter and matter were created by the Big Bang, but antimatter is seemingly absent from our immediate cosmic surroundings. Conventional wisdom is that subatomic differences within the properties of matter and antimatter resulted in matter’s final dominance in the Universe. Our explanation; far more exciting for the human race, is that the cooling of the Universe resulted in separate pockets of matter and antimatter, flecked throughout the Universe.
Just imagine these pockets of antimatter for a moment; super-high in energy and violent at first, but cooling, just as the matter did in other parts of the Universe. Cooling, condensing, ultimately forming anti-galaxies of anti-stars, anti-stars with orbiting anti-planets! We are truly on the brink of making this discovery; proving antimatter is out there, and for myself and Gideon, finally being vindicated for our visionary theoretical thinking. The antimatter is out there. Separate, and distinct from our matter world, but coexisting in a perfect, harmonious equilibrium
