What is Anti-Matter?

Answer 1

Anti-matter is exactly the same as 'regular' matter EXCEPT it has an opposite electrical charge. For example, the electron has a negative charge, while its anti-matter counterpart has a positive charge. It's as simple as that : - )

Answer 2

An example of anti particles are the electron and the positron. An electron has a charge of -1, a spin of 1/2, and a mass of 9.1093826(16) × 10−31 kg. a positron has a charge of +1, a spin of 1/2 and a mass of 9.1093826(16) × 10−31 kg. Note they are exactly the same except for their charges. when they come together they annihilate, destroying each other and giving off two photons. Most particles have an antiparticle, the electron is just an easy example. Richard Feynman thought of the positron as an electron moving backward in time, an interesting point of view...

Answer 3

The exact opposite of matter. It's also part of this whole dualism thing that God created. For every thing he created, there's another thing that's the complete opposite. Something like good and evil, or fire and water, etc etc.

I didnt know much about the topic either until I read this novel by Dan Brown "Angels & Demons" you should pick up a copy. It's quite entertaining.

Answer 4

Corresponding to most kinds of particle, there is an associated antiparticle with the same mass and opposite charges. Particle-antiparticle pairs annihilate each other if they meet. They can be produced in various processes. These processes are used in particle accelerators to create new particles and to test theories of particle physics. High energy processes in nature can also create antiparticles. These are visible in cosmic rays and in certain nuclear reactions. The word antimatter properly refers to (elementary) antiparticles, composite antiparticles made with them (such as antihydrogen) and to larger assemblies of either.

Answer 5

lack of matter. instead of something there is nothing and it creates a vacuum until filled
