I understand antimatter is the opposite of matter and that it pops into existence and then disappears again as soon as it encounters matter (usually pretty instantly). But how did we even think to look for something that has such a fleeting existence? Was it the only logical way to explain the results of some experiment? Is there something about matter that doesn’t make sense unless antimatter exists?
In: Physics
It pops up in cloud chamber traces occasionally, which we have been doing for a long time. Also it is predicted by the varios Quantum equations/theories.
I don’t know if if was noticed or predicted first though.
