antimatter By Thomas Powell

What is matter Matter is literally everything even air however, matter is actually made of stuff as well, atoms to be precise. It will be them that we will change to make antimatter. However, atoms are made of neutrons (with no charge), protons (with a negative charge) and finally electrons (with a positive charge).

How to make matter and antimatter To make matter you have to smash energy into either more energy or matter however, when you make matter you also make an equal amount of antimatter. At Cern, smashing energy to make matter and antimatter is their job, they don’t just study antimatter there they also try to make new types of matter as well.

What does it look like Antimatter is just the opposite of matter so, the protons now have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge and the neutrons stay the same. However, the end product is the same so it doesn’t look any different.

Why is it not around Antimatter is not around because if matter and antimatter are in the same place there would be an annihilation event which would destroy the entire universe. So, the question is where did it all go?
