Where is all the antimatter? Even creating antihydrogen in a lab cannot explain its lack in the universe
All that exists around us, everything we can see or touch, is matter. Physicists at CERN, the massive underground particle research lab in Europe, revealed on Wednesday that they have created an antimatter particle in the lab as a part of the ALPHA experiment. It would also turn over the Standard Model of physics which tells us matter is the building block of the universe and explains its behavior, but offers no explanation for all the missing antimatter. Moreover, scientists also say that matter comprises just 4.9 per cent of the universe, while dark matter takes up 26.8 per cent, and dark energy makes for the remaining 68.3 per cent. "Although the precision still falls short for that of ordinary hydrogen, the rapid progress made by ALPHA suggests hydrogen-like precision in antihydrogen are now within reach," said Jeffrey Hangst from the ALPHA experiment team, as per the CERN press release.
