Existing as antibeing in anticosmos of antimatter

Sometime I too think that death is not the end of all my being

perhaps I shall pass through the mercurial mirror of life 

into another existence beyond.

Antimatter: Mirror of the universe

At the very beginning of the Universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter existed. If matter and antimatter were exact mirror images of each other, they would have completely annihilated to leave only energy.

Perhaps there is already 

an anti-being representing my shadow in 

an anti-spacefield in an anti-cosmos. 

 But more often I think that death is 

a total annihilation of a set pattern. 

 One day I will go 

and in my place 

may be

a cactus will grow !!

 Who knows ? 

And what does it matter ? 

For none will recognize me !!

Existence is not by itself. 

Existence is by recognition.

Some more scientific insights on Antimatter and particles related from the world of science:

# It was the Nobel Prize winning physicist Paul Dirac who derived the equation that discovered antimatter in 1928. 

# Antimatter: it’s matter—only different.  It’s different because it’s made of bizzaro particles that have the opposite electric charge from what we observe in ordinary matter. In other words, the atoms inside of antimatter have positive electrons, called positrons, hovering in an excited cloud above a nucleus composed of negatively charged protons called antiprotons.

# For some reason, in our neighborhood of the universe, matter edged out antimatter during the primordial era of the universe.

# Annihilation: When a particle and its antiparticle meet their masses are converted into a photon with the amount of energy given by Einstein’s famous equation E=mc².

# These anti-particles are, literally, mirror images of normal matter. Each anti-particle has the same mass as its corresponding particle, but the electrical charges are reversed. Here are some antimatter discoveries of the 20th century:

• Positrons - Electrons with a positive instead of negative charge. Discovered by Carl Anderson in 1932, positrons were the first evidence that antimatter existed.
• Anti-protons - Protons that have a negative instead of the usual positive charge. In 1955, researchers at the Berkeley Bevatron produced an antiproton.
• Anti-atoms - Pairing together positrons and antiprotons, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, created the first anti-atom. Nine anti-hydrogen atoms were created, each lasting only 40 nanoseconds. As of 1998, CERN researchers were pushing the production of anti-hydrogen atoms to 2,000 per hour.

CERN is indeed a real-life lab located in Geneva, Switzerland. Protons circulate in opposite directions and collide inside experimental areas. Picture courtesy: atlas.ch

# Matter and antimatter are perfect opposites. So perfect, in fact, that when the meet they annihilate leaving behind a flash of pure energy. Nothing else remains. That's why science fiction writers like antimatter so much. To them, antimatter annihilation is the ultimate clean source of energy. It is the perfect conversion of mass (m) into energy (E) according to Einstein's famous prescription E= mc², where c is the speed of light. The problem is, however, that antimatter cannot simply be harvested or mined. It has to be made, and making it requires vastly more energy than annihilating it produces. All the antimatter produced at CERN in a year would provide barely enough energy to power a light bulb for a few seconds.

# CERN's new research machine, the Antiproton Decelerator (AD), allows scientists to trap antimatter in electromagnetic cages where it can not come into contact with matter. There they can study it at leisure, finding out, for example, whether antihydrogen spectroscopy is the same as that of hydrogen. Now that we know nature favours matter over antimatter, research at the AD will help us to understand why.
