works from the pen of VINAYAK HARSHVARDHAN Look at yourself in the mirror: what if the guy just in front of you, the one in the mirror, really existed?

"Physicists have already been thinking about this question, they would call the guy an "antiyou".

And physicists even imagined that somewhere far away there could be a world that looks just like our own, or rather like the mirror image of it. It would be an antiworld with antistars, antihouses, antistrawberries, all made of ANTIMATTER!

But, what is ANTIMATTER and... can this really be TRUE?"

cutrrently studiying in scottish public school. recieved certificates from NASA for his ewxcellent work on antimatter and darkmatters along with the field quanta description in ths field theory. He was born on 28th december 1992 in Patna the captial of bihar,India.he has certain blogs on his name.He has topped various tests conductedf by vriti education. As a chap his educational ability was extraordinary and he competed in SAINIK SCHOOL, RAMKRISHNA MISSION DEOGHAR. He was awarded there with the certificates aqnd prizes for winning freshers essay competition and for being the part of champion football club at balachadi. presently thje chap is givingh his board exams for class 10.

THIS YOUNG MIND HAS INSPIRED VARIOPUS PEOPLE TO DEPPEN THE CONCEPT OF DEALING WITH THE PROBLEMS OF ANTI-YOU. He further writes about antimatters:

You know that matter, and therefore everything you see, is made out of 3 different types of "brick" that physicists call particles: electrons, protons and neutrons.

These particles have been mysterious for quite some time: although physicists knew they existed, they knew very little about them. In physics, you can say you "know" something when, among other proprieties ,you can predict and describe the way it behaves. You know that a stone will fall if it's not held properly. Physicist can describe how it falls and predict exactly where it will touch the ground using mathematical formulas.

But physicists couldn't predict anything about the electron! Until a very smart guy named Paul Dirac thought about it: he found a very simple way to describe the proprieties and behavior of electrons, but... there was something curios about it!

His description would only work if the electron had a "twin" particle, identical to it but with an opposite electric charge. It would be just like its mirror image! He called it an antielectron or POSITRON. Of course, the same would be true for any existing particle (proton and antiproton, neutron and antineutron).

Paul was wondering how this could possibly be when a strange idea came to him...

Think about playing with "playdough" (Paul probably did). Starting with a flattened layer of dough, take a star shaped cutter and press it through the dough, now carefully remove the shape and .. hey presto, you've got a star! But take a look at the dough: there is another star there, exactly the same as the one you are holding - except that it's a hole, the "negative image", or opposite of your star. And you have no choice: whatever shape you cut from the dough, you also make its exact "negative" image.

Paul thought that particles must also be cut out of some kind of DOUGH, and then you would also have their "negatives" - the antiparticles!

The Playdough of Nature

About 100 years ago, a physicist called Albert Einstein discovered something very important (that's way he's so famous!): he said that matter is a very concentrated form of energy. So if energy and matter are the same thing, you can create matter with energy and you can create energy with matter.

Energy is the "playdough" of nature!

Of course, to make matter you need A LOT of it, and very much concentrated in space. But if you could have it, you can make a universe out of it! You have three molds: one for the proton, one for the electron and one for the neutron.

And remember: every time you make one of these particle, you'll leave a hole in the dough: its antiparticle! Particles and antiparticles are always created together, out of energy.

His interviews of SAINIK SCHOOL BALACHADI His interview was declared and awarded best interview of the day.

later in his works he illustrated:

Do Antiparticles Exist?

Physicists thought that Paul had a good idea. And remember that physicists are a bit like your school friends: if you tell them your sister is an alien, they wouldn't believe you until you prove it!

So you can imagine what happened when Paul suggested that antiparticles exist: physicists wanted proof and started to look for them! Their idea was to take a bit of energy-dough and try to make particle-antiparticle twins.

Their first success was the creation of an "electron-positron" pair, twins that only require a relatively small amount of energy-dough to make them. Later came pairs of protons and antiprotons, then pairs of neutrons and antineutrons - but only after physicists had learned how to make enough energy-dough!

So Paul was right! antiparticles do exist! Of course, the antiparticles created in a laboratory live for a very short time before they crash into normal particles and annihilate. But nevertheless, they do exist.

This means that when the electrons, protons and neutrons which make our world were created, a lot of their twins (positrons, antiprotons and antineutrons) were also made. So, where are they? Where did they go? Did they become an antiworld?

He rose the questions of ANTIWORLD

Where is Antimatter?

If some of the originally-created antiparticles are still around, they certainly can't be nearby (you know what happens when matter and antimatter meet!).

Some people think those antiparticles could be somewhere far, far away in the Universe. Perhaps the antiparticles even make up an antiworld very similar to our own world. So they are going to look for them!

Some people think the antiparticles do not exist anymore. Something may have happened, just after their creation, which destroyed them all, leaving only particles for the hard task of building up the Universe.

this was the tuff concepts siomplified by him on the profect pages of ANTIMATTERJoe Hawk
