About this ebook

Mystery of Antimatter explores the intriguing world of antimatter, a substance that challenges our fundamental understanding of the universe. It delves into antimatter's theoretical underpinnings, from Dirac's equation to experimental confirmations, and grapples with the cosmological puzzle of why there's so little antimatter compared to matter. The book also examines the tantalizing potential of antimatter as a future energy source, acknowledging current technological hurdles.

One intriguing fact is that antimatter annihilates upon contact with matter, releasing tremendous energy.

The book progresses logically, beginning with the basic principles of antimatter before exploring cosmological mysteries and potential applications. It explains complex concepts like quantum field theory and special relativity in an accessible manner, making it suitable for readers with a general science background.

A key focus is the matter-antimatter imbalance, known as baryogenesis, and how particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider contribute to our understanding. Mystery of Antimatter stands out by providing a balanced, fact-based perspective, avoiding sensationalism while highlighting the profound implications of antimatter research for physics, cosmology, and future technologies.
