1. Why is there more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Or: Why is there matter at all? (If there were the same amount of matter and antimatter, and it came into contact, it would quickly get destroyed.
2. If antimatter is so abundant, how come we've never come in contact with it or have been able to observe it?
What else can I help you with?
Is dark matter related to antimatter in any way?
Dark matter and antimatter are two separate entities. Dark matter is a mysterious form of matter that does not interact with light, while antimatter is composed of antiparticles that have the opposite charge of normal particles. There is currently no known direct relationship between dark matter and antimatter.
What is a positrin?
A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron, with a charge exactly opposite to the electron. Like other antimatter particles if it comes into contact with its matter counterpart the two will mutually annihilate.
What is the an end product of matter-antimatter annihilation?
The end product of matter-antimatter annihilation is energy in the form of gamma rays (high-energy photons) and sometimes other elementary particles like neutrinos. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy due to the complete conversion of the mass of both particles into energy, following Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2.
What is matter and antimatter changed into if they touch?
They would annihilate each other equally. Every electron that encounters a positron (the antimatter equivelant to an electron), every proton that encounters an antiproton and every neutron that encounters an anti-neutron would completely annihilate; both the matter and antimatter particle would fully transform into energy with no residual matter (nor antimatter) if the touch were somehow perfect.The amount of energy produced is enormous for even a small amount of matter/antimatter annihilation. The amount of energy released is dependent on how much matter and antimatter annihilate each other based on Einstein's famouse equation, e = mc2, which means energy (e) is equal to mass (m) times the square of the speed of light (c). Since light is incredibly fast, squaring it is a huge multiplier to mass. Nuclear fission (atomic bombs) and nuclear fusion (hydrogen bombs) generate their energy based on this same formula, but only a relatively small amount of the matter used in fission or fusion is converted into energy. By comparison, all of the matter and antimatter that come into contact will convert into energy, so the power of an explosion resulting from a matter/antimatter annihilation would be many times more energetic than even a hydrogen bomb of similar mass.The largest bomb ever detonated in the history of manking was the Tsar Bomba, a fusion or h-bomb which yielded an explosive force of 50 million tonnes of TNT. The bomb itself weighed 27,000 kilograms.By comparison, if you had a combined total of 27,000 kilograms of matter and antimatter, and created an annihilation bomb (putting all of the matter and antimatter into contact with each other), the resulting explosion would be1,159,920 megatonnes (or 1.15992 teratonnes) or more than twenty-three thousand times as powerful as the Tsar Bomba! This is huge, but wouldn't quite destroy the earth though it could certainly exterminate a lot of life. The "dinosaur killer" asteroid, estimated to have been maybe 15 kilometers across and striking the earth at 20 km/s, was more than four thousand times as powerful as this.
What was Niels Bohr major contribution to the atomic theory?
Two related questions (completed with answers) should be followed.Cf 'Related questions' in the link below this answer.
What is the yield in kilotons of two grams of antimatter?
Using E=mc2 2g of antimatter will yield the equivelent of 42.962 kilotons of TNT.
Is antimatter greater than infinity?
Antimatter is a substance, while infinity is a representation of a never ending number. They are two separate things, and thus they cannot be compared.
What is the mathematical proof of gravitation force between antimatter to antimatter and matter to antimatter?
Sir Issac Newton proposed the law of gravitational force between mass to mass of matter. That is the gravitational force between to masses is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two. F=G* m1*m2/r2. Here the F is the force of gravity. G is gravitational constant. m1 is mass one. m2 is mass 2. r is the distance between the masses. Now for the two masses of antimatter you have to denote the negative sign to the mass. So the formula is F = G* minus m1 * minus m2 / r2. So here the F is positive number. So there will be force of attraction between the two masses of antimatter. Hence proved.Now you take one mass of matter and another mass of antimatter. The formula is F = G * m1* minus m2 / r2. Here the F is negative number. So there is no force of attraction between the two. Instead there is force of repulsion. So the force of repulsion between the mass of matter and mass of antimatter is directly proportional to the product of masses of matter and antimatter and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two. Hence proved.So above is the mathematical proof of the gravitational force between the masses of antimatter and antimatter and gravitational force between the masses of antimatter and matter.
What is the role of gravitational force between matter and antimatter?
The gravitational force between matter and antimatter follows the same principles as between matter and matter. Gravity attracts all objects with mass toward each other. Matter and antimatter would attract each other gravitationally just like matter attracts matter, following Newton's law of universal gravitation.

What two theories or questions that science currently working on?
It depends on which branch of science you are interested. Medical science is working on cancer, physicists are looking for the Higg's boson, meteorologists are trying to understand global climate change...
Formulate at least three questions you might ask hay regarding his statement?
The three questions would be "how did you come to this resolution?". The other two would be about his analysis and assessment of the situation and problem at hand.
Where can you find antimatter?
Antimatter can be found in small quantities on Earth in particle accelerators and in outer space, such as in cosmic rays and near black holes. It is a rare substance that is difficult to produce and store due to its volatile nature.
