Scientists say, there is asymmetry in the universe. That, in the beginning of time, matter and antimatter (the mirror image of matter)have been locked in a cosmic battle, trying to undo each other. In their first battle, matter won over antimatter. It just took a sizeable amount of matter to create the imbalance. In our known universe, matter predominates. Antimatter occurs in super high-speed situations. However, matter annihilates antimatter upon contact.
Technological advances have enabled some truths to be unravelled. However, despite best efforts by scientists, they have’nt explained what caused the Charge Partity (CP) violation that caused the matter-antimatter coalition. What they admit though that the CP violation is not enough to cause such a monumental event. There must be something, an extraneous thing that tipped the balance.
Quantum physics is one of my favorite subjects. One of its branches, Quantum cosmology, looks at the origins of the universe. More than the mundane or controversial concerns, scientists are interested in Quantum cosmology for just one reason—to discover new sources of energy. The Universe is a bundle of energy, enormous energy. By discovering its composition and the forces at work in it, we can tap into it and possibly use it to power our world. In 2002, a solar flare produced a kilo of antimatter which could power the energy requirements of the US for 2 days.
So, all these quests about the “origins of the Universe” its just a ploy to hide the real reason behind this rush to unlock the mysteries of the elementary particles. But, what really tipped the balance between matter and antimatter? Prof. Ting of MIT, has created the AMS which could provide some clues as to what really caused the imbalance. If that happens, then, expect the dawning of the galactic age in this world.
The question that matters to me is—are we ready for this new kind of power? Is Man ready to be God?
