Abstract :

We know relatively little about the cosmos. What we know about what we don’t know is even more tenuous. Antimatter is just matter with some properties swapped, such as electric charge. The positron serves as the antimatter counterpart to the electron, displaying a remarkable similarity in mass while possessing contrasting electric charges. Antimatter differs from regular matter in that it annihilates when it collides with regular matter. For instance, a proton and a positron have a lot in common. Both of them are of regular mass. They each possess a positive electric charge of equal strength. They both have one-half quantum spin. When a proton and an electron collide, a stable hydrogen atom is produced. When a positron and an electron collide, they destroy each other. The main distinction is that a positron is antimatter while a proton is matter. Knowledge dark matter and dark energy is critical for gaining a fundamental knowledge of the shape, structure, and properties of our Earth, galaxy, and universe. By fitting a theoretical model of the universe’s composition to the combined set of cosmological measurements, scientists found that the cosmos has around sixty-eight percent of dark energy, twenty-seven percent of dark matter, and five percent of normal matter. We should never touch our anti-self because we will perish if we do. It is a thoughtful and analytical article that draws on the knowledge and insight of scientists, physicists, technologists, and inventors about how the universe, dark energy, dark matter, antimatter and matter were formed. This knowledge will help in the development of new technologies for the civilization and prosperity of our precious planet Earth.
