Does An Antimatter Dimension Exist?

-

Big Bang theory says equal quantities of matter and antimatter were produced, as the universe was born. Antiatoms have the same characteri­stics as atoms, only with the opposite electric charge, hence the name “atomic reflection­s”. If matter gets in contact with antimatter, the two will invalidate each other.

The mystery? Everything that we can observe in the universe seems to be made of matter. Antimatter planets, stars, and galaxies might exist, but most physicists believe that there must be a tiny difference, which made antimatter disappear in the young universe.
