Antimatter

In my opinion this form of matter is one of the most fascinating things in the universe.
Antimatter is created by colliding an antielectron (a positron, or an electron with a positive charge) and a antiproton (a proton with a negative charge) which gives you antihydrogen (or antimatter). So as you can see antihydrogen is created in the same way that regular hydrogen is created. The same principal applies with positive and negtive numbers when you add two negatives together you get a higher negative number and when you add two positives together you get a larger positive number. But when you add for example -3 plus 3 you get zero ( just like if you add equal amounts of matter and antimatter they anielate eachother.) So if you add for example -3 plus 1 you get -2 ( so in theory if you added three atoms of antimatter and one regular atom you would have two atoms of antimatter left)

My inspiration

The person that inspired me to create this blog is Michio Kaku (i hope i spelled his name right) Mr. Kaku is a well known physicists and author. His book physics of the impossible is my favorite book and has supplied much of my knowledge about Quantum physics.
I am fairly new to blogging so please excuse me if my posts are too short or long or if my technique is wrong.

Welcome to my blog

Hello I'm Alex and I'm the creator of this blog. For a long time i have been Extremely interested in Quantum Physics hence the name of this blog, and I hope I can share with you my love of this fascinating study of the laws of space time and enegery. I will also be adding some astronomy into some of my blog posts.
