The real existence of the proton and the antiproton was demonstrated absolutely in the year 1955 by a physics team from Berkeley. When a plate of copper was bombarded with the energy of 6,000 million electronvolts, two marvelous nuclei of hydrogen were extracted from the target. They were identical but of opposite charge: one positive proton and the other negative.
By all means it then becomes clear that half of the universe is constituted of antimatter. If the modern wise men could find anti-particles in the laboratories, it is because they also exist in the profound depth of this great Nature. In no way can we deny that to detect the antimatter in space is frightfully difficult.
The light of the anti-stars, even when apparently identical to the light of the stars, and even when photographs register them in the same way, have a difference that is unknown to the “wise men.” Continue reading “Protons and Antiprotons”
