eli5 What is antimatter?

509 views

I’ve tried reading up on it but my brain can’t comprehend the concept of matter having an opposite. Like… if it’s the opposite of matter then it just wouldn’t exist?

Antimatter is still a kind of matter, its just a competley new set of particles, for every known particle there is an anti particle with opposite charge,
if these touch each other they anihilate eachother. Animatter still has mass like the regular particles and in a world with only antimatter the would would look the same as it looks now.
