The
History of Antimatter
(by Rosy Mondardini)
The history of antimatter begins
in 1928 with a young physicist named Paul Dirac and a strange mathematical
equation...
The equation, in some way,
predicted the existence of an antiworld identical to ours but made out
of antimatter. Was
this possible? if so, where and how could we search for antimatter?
From 1930, the search for the
possible constituents of antimatter, antiparticles, began, and
it has been the main influence behind a major scientific and technical
evolution over the last 70 years.
