Scientists from Italy and Switzerland recently performed an experiment demonstrating that antimatter, like matter, has the characteristics of both waves and particles. This means antimatter fits within the established theory of quantum mechanics – making its rarity all the more curious. The Big Bang, by all scientific accounts, should have exploded forth equal parts matter and antimatter when it poofed the universe into existence. Unfortunately antimatter is incredibly hard to find. So where did it all go? Scientists searching for the missing material (anti-material?) have so far come up with few answers. But the research team’s experiment yields some hope that trend…
