About this audiobook
From a suspicious sign in Paul Dirac's equations to antihydrogen atoms trapped and weighed at CERN, this book traces a century of antimatter science. It follows Carl Anderson's cloud-chamber discovery of the positron, the machine-made antiproton, and the anti-nuclei assembled in collider fireballs, and explains why annihilation — the perfect conversion of mass into energy — sets every challenge the field faces, from trillion-dollar-per-gram production economics to the cryogenic traps that now hold antiparticles for years. Later chapters widen to the cosmos: why the universe chose matter over antimatter at the Big Bang, what the Milky Way's antimatter glow reveals, and why no anti-stars hide anywhere within sight. The book closes with the propulsion concepts, precision experiments, and open mysteries — including the tiny asymmetry that may be the reason anything exists at all.
