Can someone tell how antiparticles affected by gravitational force? The same way as particles or opposite? Thanks.
Antiparticles are subatomic particles that have the same mass as their corresponding particles, but opposite charge. For example, the antiparticle of an electron is a positron, which has a positive charge instead of a negative charge.
Antiparticles can be created through various processes, such as high-energy collisions between particles or through the decay of certain radioactive elements. They can also be created in particle accelerators.
Antiparticles have the same gravitational properties as their corresponding particles. This means that they are affected by gravity in the same way as particles, and can also contribute to the gravitational field of an object.
No, antiparticles cannot have negative mass. Mass is a fundamental property of particles and antiparticles, and it is always positive. However, antiparticles can have negative energy, which is a concept in quantum mechanics.
According to the Big Bang theory, equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created in the early universe. However, as the universe expanded and cooled, most of the antimatter annihilated with matter, leaving behind a small amount of matter to form the universe we see today. The study of antiparticles and their interactions with gravity can provide insights into the early stages of the universe and the formation of structures like galaxies.
