What is anti-time?

Anti-time was a concept in temporal mechanics, conceived in the 24th century, positing the existence of a phenomenon which has a relationship to time analogous to the relationship that antimatter has to normal matter.

Does antimatter reverse time?

Yes. According to the CPT theorem, antimatter is matter going backwards in time, but when viewed through a mirror.

Is there Antienergy?

anti-energy has not yet been discovered. Photons, the force carrier particle for electromagnetism, do not have an anti-matter counterpart. Anti-energy does not make a whole lot of sense in the physical world.

Can we create antimatter?

For the past 50 years and more, laboratories like CERN have routinely produced antiparticles, and in 1995 CERN became the first laboratory to create anti-atoms artificially. But no one has ever produced antimatter without also obtaining the corresponding matter particles.

Can you move backwards in time?

Most of the laws of physics, like gravity and quantum mechanics, are symmetric with respect to time. That means that it doesn’t matter whether time moves forward or backwards. It’s the only physical law that can’t go backwards.

Does antimatter have negative energy?

Antimatter inside our Universe does not have negative energy. Our Universe has positive energy. The negative energy of the lagging dilation layer has the negative of our Universe’s energy. When they recombine, they will result in flat space and the Universe cycle will end and a new will start.

Is there such a thing as anti-matter?

(Neither is there anti-space or anti-gravity.) Antimatter is a very specific term, namely for particles that have the same properties but opposite quantum numbers (charges) as the “regular” particles. Sometimes, antimatter refers only to molecules build from anti-particles.

Is there such a thing as antigravity?

Aside from the long-running Anti Gravity column in Scientific American, however, there is no such thing as antigravity. Gravity is a force arising among any two masses in the universe. Our most familiar run-in with it is the attraction that pulls our bodies, our houses and everything else in our lives toward the planet Earth beneath us.

Is there such a thing as an antimatter trap?

There is such a thing as an antimatter trap. To study antimatter, you need to prevent it from annihilating with matter. Scientists have created ways to do just that. Charged antimatter particles such as positrons and antiprotons can be held in devices called Penning traps. These are comparable to tiny accelerators.

What would happen if humans made all the antimatter in the world?

If all the antimatter ever made by humans were annihilated at once, the energy produced wouldn’t even be enough to boil a cup of tea. The problem lies in the efficiency and cost of antimatter production and storage.
