Excerpt: end{sloppypar In particle physics , antimatter is the extension of the concept of the antiparticle to matter , where antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. For example, an antielectron (a positron , an electron with a positive charge) and an antiproton (a proton with a negative charge) could form an antihydrogen atom in the same way that an electron and a proton form a normal matter hydrogen atom. Furthermore, mixing matter and antimatter would lead to the annihilation of both in the same way that mixing antiparticles and particles does, thus giving rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays ) or other particleantiparticle pairs.There is considerable speculation as to why the observable universe is apparently almost entirely matter, whether there exist other places that are almost entirely antimatter instead, and what might be possible if antimatter could be harnessed, but at this time the apparent asymmetry of matter and antimatter in the visible universe is one of the greatest unsolved problems in physics . The process by which this asymmetry between particles and antiparticles devel...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Adult Trade Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171700097264,"sku":"9781783522750","price":23.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783522750_p0.jpg?v=1763724242","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783522750","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
