Creates the heaviest antimatter core.

Physicists have taken an impressive step in the quest to understand the mysteries of antimatter. They have created the heaviest group of antimatter particles ever observed called Antier Hydrogen 4. This exotic substance could help us unravel some of the most intriguing secrets in physics. , but what exactly is antimatter, I simplify it is like ordinary matter but with a crucial difference the charges of its particles are inverted, it seems simple but that inversion brings with it an extraordinary effect.


When matter and antimatter meet they destroy each other and an explosion of pure energy, imagine the potential of this, if we could control this reaction we could create extremely efficient spaceship engines or as is customary in humans the most powerful weapons ever seen .


We know what humanity is like and it is difficult not to imagine what their choice would be, each particle of matter has its corresponding antimatter and these antiparticles can group together to form anti atoms and so far they have managed to produce anti hydrogen and anti helium, but in theory it could exist a complete periodic table of anti elements.

Now scientists have passed a new milestone, the creation of the heaviest known antimatter nucleus, the Antier hydrogen 4, it is composed of an anti proton, two anti neutrons and an Anti hyperon, the anti protons and anti neutrons are already known, but Anti hyperons, although less famous, are heavier versions of neutrons.


This advance occurred in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a particle accelerator that recreates the extreme conditions that are believed to exist at the beginning of the universe, in which heavy elements collide at impressive speeds producing a shower of new particles, including antimatter, among billions Of these particles, only 16 ancient hydrogen 4 nuclei were detected, demonstrating how rare and special this creation is.


This discovery marks a breakthrough to compare anti hydrogen 4 with its regular matter counterpart hyper hydrogen 4 and as expected both appear to have the same life span, this makes sense since according to the standard model of physics matter and Antimatter of the same element must be identical, except for the charge, however, any small difference could open a door to new physics beyond what we know today.


Better understanding antimatter is crucial to unlocking one of the biggest mysteries of the universe, why does it exist? The next steps in this research include measuring the masses of these particles and antiparticles with even more precision, looking for any discrepancies that could challenge the standard model. and lead us to new discoveries.
