- Why does mass behave differently?
- Relevant Equations
- N/A
Mass behaves opposite that of other quantum numbers when combining matter (quarks) and antimatter. Why?
It adds together, rather than cancel.DrClaude said:Is this really a homework question? In any case, the question is not clear.
What does "opposite" mean here? And mass is not a quantum number...
Anti-particles have positive mass, not negative mass.talanum52 said:It adds together, rather than cancel.

Because "mass" is the magnitude of the energy-momentum four-vector which is always positive.talanum52 said:Why?
No, the OP has the recent days posted several of their questions in the HW forum which actually belongs in the technical forums (some threads got deleted because of OP is working on their own model of particles.)DrClaude said:Is this really a homework question?
