Are they present in the form of dark-matter?
Anti-matter can be produced through various processes, such as the decay of radioactive materials or during high-energy collisions between particles in particle accelerators. It is also naturally present in small amounts in the universe.
This is still a mystery for scientists. The Big Bang theory predicts that equal amounts of matter and anti-matter should have been created in the early universe. However, for some reason, there was a slight imbalance that resulted in more matter being present. This is known as the "baryon asymmetry problem" and is an ongoing topic of research.
Yes, anti-matter has the potential to be a highly efficient source of energy. When matter and anti-matter collide, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy. However, currently, creating and containing enough anti-matter for practical use is extremely challenging and expensive.
Yes, scientists have been able to produce small amounts of anti-matter in laboratories. However, due to its highly unstable nature, it is difficult to contain and store for long periods of time.
The universe is mostly made up of matter, but traces of anti-matter can also be found. It is believed that during the early stages of the universe, matter and anti-matter were created in equal amounts. However, as the universe expanded and cooled, the two types of particles were able to separate, allowing matter to dominate. This is known as "baryogenesis" and is an area of ongoing research.
