Why Are We Made of Matter?
StartsWithABang (3485481) writes "The Universe began with equal amounts of matter and antimatter after the Big Bang, and yet when we look out at today's Universe, we find that, even on the largest scales, it's made of at least 99.999%+ matter and not antimatter. The problem of how we went from a matter-antimatter-symmetric Universe to the matter-dominated one we have today is known as baryogenesis, and is one of the greatest unsolved problems in physics. Where are we on the quest to understand it as of April, 2014? A wonderful and comprehensive recap is here."
God hid it.
God is made of it.
Okay, that's the god excuses out of the way... now on with the physics!
What does it matter that we're made of matter? Were we made of anti-matter, would it anti-matter to anyone? Don't lose any energy on this matter, because it doesn't fucking matter.
There's this book...
You gullible idiots really think matter and giant 'big bang', which is a high energy event, just popped up from nowhere. Let me know when you can make matter out of empty space. Then let me know when that matter can make itself. An object stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. But here on Earth, matter can just pop out of nowhere and dumbasses believe it. And with all these different looking humans that have evolved 4 arms and 12 legs and extra heads and lungs... O yea, we all still look the same.. FOOLS!!!

o0t!
Can you see me?
well , I'm made out of Anitmatter,I know you are still looking for me as of April 2014. if it matters.
If we were made from anti-matter, we'd call that matter, and call matter anti-matter. TFS summary starts out with the statement that the universe began with equal amounts of matter and anti-matter. Are we sure there were equal amounts? It seems like there must have been more of one than the other. Why that would be is the real question in my mind.
As soon as physicists solve the problem of antimatter the antimatter bomb will be created.
It will be the size of a coin and could literally destroy literally a quoter of a planet. This is how civilizations end in the Universe.
And that is why we do not hear any intelligent radio transmissions from other star systems.
If we were made of anti-matter, we would see matter as anti-matter and the anti-matter that we are made of as matter.
Because if we were made up of anti-matter, we would call that matter instead. Why do people think these simple questions are hard???
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
The beginning probably had a spin one way or another that predisposed one type of matter VS the other.
The effect was probably small, but over the vast space and energies involved that small difference made a giant outcome.
Butterfly effect and all that.
This would be my completely uneducated guess. Physics persons can freely rip on me as an idiot lol Please when ripping on me, tell me something in terms an idiot would understand though, I do enjoy learning some things. Especially the why of things! :)
One of my other stupid persons theories, maybe energy just likes to form matter under the right conditions and when matter and anti matter meet they create energy and this destruction and creation cycle trended to making the universe just matter.

In spite of my better judgement I'm about to attempt an analogy, so bear with me here. The lowest number of moves to unscramble a maximally scrambled rubik's cube (a 3x3x3 one) is 20. That is, for every configuration of a rubik's cube, there is a sequence of 20 moves or less that will unscramble it. However, there is no algorithm to generate those solutions. They are unstructured; they're simply lists of moves. The algorithms used by human (and computer) rubik's cube solvers are far from move-optimal, but benefit from being executable by non-omniscient beings. They pick out some pattern that is applicable to the rubik's cube, and then direct you in manipulating it according to that pattern until it's solved.
The way science understands the world is by comparing new data to what we already know. For example, we know penicillin kills bacteria; if we discover a new disease, and then discover that it is caused by bacteria, we can safely draw the conclusion that we'll probably be able to treat it with penicillin. We've used science to discover a pattern in the world ('penicillin kills bacteria'), then use deduction to determine where it is and isn't applicable, and form new categories based on what happens when we encounter new data (like bacteria not killed by penicillin being classified as anti-biotic resistant). Science is basically a collection of patterns like this, and because they're patterns (structures, structured rules, whatever you want to call them) we can understand them.
Now, what I wonder about is this. What if the fact that we live in a matter universe now (rather than an anti-matter one) is like the set of move-optimal solutions to a rubik's cube? They both describe a certain state of affairs, but they also both completely lack (could lack) any kind of structure. And because they lack this structure, there is nothing for us to latch onto, nothing for us to understand, no pattern to detect. It is simply the case, and there is no further reason. There is no reason why there is no structure in the move-optimal solutions to a rubik's cube. There might not be a reason why there is a massive matter/anti-matter imbalance either.
This is something I've been trying to work out for a while, so please excuse me if my explanation is unclear. I just think it would be a really interesting possibility, something which isn't often discussed, maybe because it simply gets overlooked.
Why Are We Made of Matter? Why Am I Reading This Website?
we don't know we are made of matter. What if what we call matter is in fact anti-matter ? Or to put it differently, if the universe was made of "antimatter" wouldn't we think we were made of matter and the definition of antimatter (positron etc.) would be the opposite of what's now? Isn't it just a matter (no pun intended) of definition ?
because we are almost surely living in simulation. and in that simulation, things just have to be so for us to be simulated.
never bring a twinkie to a food fight.
The antimatter is just on the inside of the universe. We are on the outside of it.
Applying enough energy to space breaks the surface down and they exchange through to the source of the rip.
Where is my science prize of the year award 2014 4 years running?
Although this actually is sort of a theory, I just cannot remember the name of it. I remember seeing a diagram of it.
I also remember seeing something else about there being antimatter galaxies and such, and we just can't see them.
Is the question about what happened to the anti-matter, or what happened to our theory?
Don't complain about syntax, grammar, or spelling. There is no.hell like input on android.
I wonder if it is possible that the Universe has some regions of matter and some of antimatter. In between there would be mixed regions and the resulting explosions could tend to keep the different regions separate. Initially asymmetry in the distribution would leave some small regions of each type. The m-am explosions could force separation and a certain portion of the matter regions would merge with other matter regions and the same for antimatter. This seems like a fairly obvious thought, so I assume that it has been considered and ruled out. Why or why not?

Unlike the energy from nuclear fission or fusion which we essentially get for free because its already in a sense locked up in the atoms, for an anti matter bomb you'd first have to make the antimatter - from scratch. And the amount of energy you'd have to put in to do that would have to be at least equal to the amount of energy you'd get out. So to create an anti matter bomb to physically destroy a planet (rather than just laying waste to the surface) you'd have to put in enough energy to do that in the first place which if you used the entire earth electricity generating capacity would - at a guestimate - take a few hundred years minimum.
I imagine if you went to the edge of the universe you'd see an abrupt transition into one made of antimatter.
There is no evidence for this hypothesis, but I plan to capitalize on the first mover advantage. When the internet completely destorys all vestiges of religion and make everyone atheists, they will be looking for someone to mouth of fantastic things without any evidence to provide "meaning for their lives". I am going to be there on the mountain, mouthing of stuff like matter, anti-matter, quantum horizon etc etc.

Because we travel the way we do through time.
Antimatter travels through it in the other direction.
And we when we and the antimatter get all the way from one end of Time to the other--BOOM! It's the end.

That the universe started out with equal amounts of matter and anti-matter is an interesting hypothesis.
Greed is the root of all evil.
i know where it went
the other way dimensionally speaking
our matter got shoved into a matter universe and a antimatter universe went dimensionally polar opposite directions.
have we pissed away on a question brought up by a hippy stoner
There are only two possible outcomes:
- either matter and antimatter annihilate each other and the universe is mostly void
- either one eventually wins over the other, leaving majorly one in the universe and pockets of the other
Out of those two, one is clearly more likely to lead to intelligent life.
Maybe the anti-matter went backwards in time. Take a look at Paul Dirac's equations.
Personally I don't like this idea because I perceive time as an emergent phenomenon of the expansion and disturbance of space and as such is not a dimension.
Its more likely that the energy released by annihilation in the early universe reconstituted to form ordinary matter.
Greed is the root of all evil.

How do we know that there was a 50/50 distribution of matter and antimatter? Perhaps antimatter is rare, or more common in the anti universe in a parallel dimension?

What do you mean? We're paying big bucks for the research into the scientific faith. Not saying we should not, I hasten to add, as this is /., but let's call faith like we see it.
Faith is belief without evidence.
Science is about getting evidence.
Religion is based on Iron Age superstition (Scientology and Buddhism* are excepted). Religion was created by man to explain the natural world and was a form of primitive government (Armstrong, "History of God").
Religion came thousands of years before science was invented. To take religious allegorical stories as fact is ludicrous.
..
*Buddhism at its base is mental training to be in the present and to work in training the mind. Later on this teaching had shit piled onto it (reincarnation) and it was turned into a religion. But the base teachings are brilliant; although, modern neuroscience is discovering the Siddhartha (AKA, the Historical Buddha) was only half way there. American Secular Buddhism, IMHO, is probably the first time in history where humans are progressing on a spiritual level - spiritual in the sense that we are more than the evolved apes that we are.
tl;dr; Judeo-Christianity is Iron Age superstition and it's pathetic that people still whorship that god in the 21st Century.
if it was the other way around, we would call anti-matter, matter and matter, anti-matter. in the words of hornsby, that's just the way it is.
in the studies that i've been doing for the past four months the best explanation i've encountered is one where particles are actually photons obeying maxwell's equations *to the absolute* letter, on some form of circular (or knotted, or hubius helical) path, where the epicentre creates a synchtronic electro-magnetic field that it in symbiotic support of the epicentre. there is actually a lot of research recently into optics which shows that it *is* actually possible to create phased laser beams that will literally bend in a semi-circle.
with that description in mind, the definition of a "particle" is therefore that the phase of the photon at the centre rotates in one direction.... and that for an anti-particle it rotates in the opposite direction. the string theorists / knot physics people have this down as "the knot being tied left-handed or right-handed".
it's really that simple... but it requires a bit of explanation otherwise it makes no sense. why did the universe choose one in priority over the other? who knows: who cares. the choice has been made.
You can't understand that though: You're from "loonyland" http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
At the very bottom of this page, I find...

Politics is Treachery, Religion is Brainwashing
Is there any difference between a Black Hole/Singularity formed from Matter vs. Antimatter?
Did galactic-sized magnetic fields push the antimatter into the supermassive black holes in their centers?
If you're looking for something missing of the cosmic scale, black holes seem like a good place to look; although I suppose it'll also be the last place you look...
Antimatter is so derisory. Must we put such a polarizing label on something we do not fully understand? If people referred to me that way, I would not hang around, either.
Of course it matters that we are made, and whatever we are made of quantum-wise, we should be proud, even if it destroys us when we come together.
I vote for calling it 'matter-of-fact'.
P.S. I appreciate StartsWithaBang renaming it from, "Why are we layered fatter?"
As I understand it, consciousness arises from the evolving state of the phonological, visuospatial, and episodic working memories. If someone "walked and talked etc like before", he or she would still be using the working memories to maintain balance and communicate.
Maybe it all just dropped through to the other side.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Most of the universe is hydrogen. Hydrogen-anti hydrogen anhilitaion has a pretty specific spectra (involving a slew of particle created when electron and anti electron anihilate and proton and anti proton do the same, all in gamma spectra). That gamma signature is nowhere to be seen in our sky observation. The region would have to be separated by incredible distance, but even then at the separation between region the anihilation would be constant and visible.
So you know for certain that all the observable stars are matter? Every galaxy out there is matter, and not anti-matter?
....contained energy and energy is what we all are, doods!
So today the universe apparently is 99.99999% matter / 0.000001% antimatter -- What about the possibility that when the universe started it began as 50.00000000001% matter / 49.99999999999% anti-matter, and the observable universe today is 'simply' made up of the remaining 0.000000000002% that didn't annihilate itself billions of years ago? Even if matter/antimatter each have an equal chance of getting created, randomness is not perfectly distributed. If you roll a set of dice an infinite amount of times, you WILL from time to time end up with weirdly skewed results that may appear non-random, even though they are. Since we happen to live inside this universe and have no way of observing any potential failed precursor universes, we have an observation bias to our particular outcome -- there could be a near-infinite amount of alternate universes with matter and antimatter perfectly distributed which completely annihilated themselves before the universe as we know it today ever came info being.
because if we were made of anti-matter, we could have called it matter and we would be asking the same question of the newly named anti-matter (that used to be matter).

It just doesn't matter.
soylentnews.org
The article makes the point that there's a significant amount of matter in the interstellar space within our galaxy, which suggests that if other stars in our galaxy were made out of antimatter instead of matter, we would know about it because we'd detect annihilations. But can we say the same about intergalactic space? The article glosses over this question and skips to pointing out that we don't detect annihilations within other galaxies. What if those other galaxies are mostly antimatter, but there's essentially no matter to annihilate in intergalactic space? (Perhaps because it already annihilated in the early universe. Could that be the source of the CMB?)
A finite sized Rubik's cube's states make a finite graph, so you can traverse it and find the necessary steps.
Wouldn't any other setup be unstable? M/A collision leads to burst of energy. Energy gets converted back into MAtter via some other process. Does it get converted into M or A? If there's a bias on one direction or another, that one wins; but if it's a 50/50 split than you just need a little push in one direction or another and one side wins because the "wrong" side keeps getting hit with stuff that kills it and pulls it back through the energy cycle.
Of course IANAPhysicist and this seems like a very obvious PoV which means it's almost certainly wrong.
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
I don't know why it's assumed that the universe started out with equal amounts of matter and anti-matter, but assuming that it did, it still seems to have started out with some seed of asymmetry in the manner in which matter is distributed, as we see in the distribution of matter in the cosmos today.
So couldn't the asymmetry in amount of matter and antimatter arise from that?
For example, here's an idea I've had using my very limited understanding of such matters and I'd be happy if someone explained why I'm wrong.
I was wondering what would happen if a matter and an antimatter black holes collided, after reading a bit on the subject it seems that once the black hole is formed the information about what it was formed from is lost so they would be both just black holes and merge if they collided.
Now another aspect of black holes is Hawking Radiation which is supposed to produce radiation at the edge of the event horizon drawing on the mass of the black hole for energy.
So assuming the black hole doesn't retain the information about what formed it, the radiation would constitute photons and equal amounts of matter and antimatter by the random chance of which particle from the pair formed at the event horizon falls in and which escapes.
So then if a star formed from only matter or only antimatter (since a mix of both would fly apart) and collapsed into a black hole, and it was left to radiate Hawking radiation, wouldn't it essentially convert one type of matter into energy and equal amounts of matter and antimatter, violating the symmetry?
And if the universe happened to start out in such a distribution of matter and antimatter that there were slightly more denser regions of antimatter than matter, then a small violation of the symmetry would emerge, the rest of the matter and antimatter annihilate and there would remain a small remainder of matter.
How do we know that most of the universe is made of matter? What tells us that the big bang didn't send matter in one direction and anti-matter in the other? Can we tell that entire galaxies aren't made up of anti-matter versus matter? I'm not suggesting that I know anything, I'm really asking anyone who knows... Does light from antimatter tell us one way or another?
Because if animatter were the norm, we would call it matter and our current matter would be the antimatter.
Speak for yourself! I'm made of melancholic and caring disapproval.
I hadn't the slightest objection to his spending his time planning massacres for the bourgeoisie... (P.G. Wodehouse)
Since the quantum vacuum allows the creation of pairs of particles that are the opposite of each other I would assume that there is another universe that is composed of anti-matter to balance out ours. Or maybe half of our universe is anti-matter. Somehow the matter and antimatter got separated.
That's why... see subject-line above.

We wouldn't be calling it anti-matter, we would just call it "matter" and would be still asking the same question.
So there are really only 2 scenarios.
Priest: "Universe from nothing, no laws of physics, sped up time"+ huge discrepancies. Creationism? No. Big Bang Theory
I've always been suspicious of the Standard Model's insistence that the big bang consisted of nearly equal parts matter and antimatter. The assumptions made by observation of certain particle collisions need to be reevaluated. Much of this seems to because of a belief that time is single dimensional and that mass has no effect on the flow of time, although if you really look at relativity and quantum phenomenon it is obvious that neither of these is the case. Instead we invent the artifacts of dark matter and dark energy to explain away inconsistencies that these assumptions make.
The observable universe is not the entire universe. Our observable universe could be surrounded by antimatter.
Maybe the antimatter surrounding the observable universe is destroying the outer parts of our matter pocket and that is why our universe is expanding -- into it!
Finally, you're under the mistaken impression that Buddhism is a religion, and it is not.
It wasn't at first. Unfortunately whenever someone has a philosophy that they try to make accessible to people who don't entirely understand it, those people invariably built rituals around it that have little to do with the actual philosophy. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, etc all started as philosophies but were gradually converted into religions, albeit not ones centered around a deity in the Judeo/Chrisian/Islamic tradition. Buddha is definitely revered as a sort of god.
It's possible to practice Buddhism without treating it as a religion but this appear to be relatively uncommon in actual practice.
We made the definition. If we were originally made of Anti-Matter, when we became intelligent and developed science we would have defined the material we were made of as matter and that "other stuff" anti-matter. It's an Einstein frame-of-reference kind of thing.
Not this crude matter.
Everyone successfully avoided reading the articles and launched into wild speculations that ignore all the evidence presented in the story.
This space intentionally left blank
I thought the grand structure of the universe included enormous bubbles of empty space beyond our event horizon, strung with filaments of baryonic matter. Maybe there are places where there is more antimatter than matter? Maybe there is as much matter as antimatter, but since they annihilate each other, we can only exist in an area that has very very little antimatter, so it seems like to us, there is an imbalance.

Is it feasible that a sentient being could be made of energy?
Antimatter is going the opposite direction in time. So during the big bang, matter went one way in time, antimatter the other, never to physically touch. Consequently, we never see the equal portion of antimatter.
How do you know if the galaxy you are looking through a telescope at is made of matter or anti-matter?
It's not as though it emits anti-light, so why the confident assertion?
I've heard it stated a hundred times, but have never seen this explained.
If we're sure everything started as 50% matter and 50% anti-matter, and now we are nearly a pure matter universe, my uneducated guess would be that there is something in the nature of matter-antimatter collision that, in addition to creating energy, would also leave behind a small amount of residual matter. That could explain how over these billions of years, we are left with a mostly matter universe. If this has been proven impossible, please someone yell at me and tell me otherwise. I recall reading that they often generate antimatter in particle accelerators... have they ever done specific research on the results of matter-antimatter collisions?
Maybe we are the ones made of antimatter and what we consider to be antimatter is asking "why are we made of matter".
At the time of the big bang, matter and anti-matter should have been made in roughly (if not exactly) equivalent amounts... but the distribution of that matter might not be perfectly even. It could be that in our half of the universe, matter slightly (percentage-wise) out-massed the anti-matter and annihilated it while in the other half of the universe, the opposite happened. We have to remember that much of the universe could lie beyond the limit of the visible universe. Another thought is that matter and anti-matter could have the same relationship as positive and negative numbers. If you add them together in equal amounts, you get 0, but if you square them first, then their sums are positive. So what does it take to "square matter?" Is it possible that anti-matter has it's own form of nuclear fusion? If you fuse anti-matter with anti-matter, do you get matter? I know this is all hypothetical and way within the realm of speculation, but it could be possible.
Look up the afterlife dysfunction on youtube for an idea that should challenge your perspective on reality... basically the universe is simply X amount of data that is in every possible superposition of quantum states. If the universe could be represented in 1's and 0's (quantum physics suggests it can be... or at least each of its possible configurations can) then the big bang is simply when all matter existed at the same point at (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ... nth) where n is the number of dimensions. As this is a possible universe configuration, then it does exist in some sense. It's a lot easier when you stop thinking about the big bang as the beginning, but as the Null value of the universe.
There is a simple answer.
Antimatter generates a negative space-time curvature (aka gravity).
Not how reacts antimatter to space-time. Both reacts the same. Instead, which curvature generates antimatter (it is not the same how reacts to gravity and which gravity generates)
If this is correct, then antimatter exists in intergalactic space as ultracold antihydrogen, basically indistinguishable from normal hydrogen, dispersed and incapable to create planets or stars because "repels" itself. Because is so weak, there is not huge collisions that reveal it.
So, this gas generate a "repulsion force" like dark energy, and resolves the problem "where is antimatter?".
What is mind? No matter.

Are we made of matter? Or are we dancer?
Actually "On the origin of the species" only can explain races, and in fact does a very poor job at that, which is why on his sixth edition, Darwin retracts the ideas he wrote on the first edition.
Basically, the changes described in the book are just variable parameters inside the same species. You can make the arms larger, the beak rounder, skin color darker, but at the end, the species remain the same. Despite the enormous variability in dogs through selective breedings for hundreds of years, they remain the same species and all their differences would disappear if let to mix freely for a few generations.
But I'm willing to wager it has something to do with Chuck Norris.
I think it is useless to try to answer the question of 'Why' the universe is mostly matter as opposed to anti-matter until we have determined that the universe *is* actually composed mostly of matter.
It seem the main reason for thinking that the universe is mostly composed of matter, is that we see little or no sign of matter/anti-matter annihilation coming from the border between regions of each. This entirely assumes that if there are regions of each that they have significant borders with each other that have sufficient amounts of either matter or anti-matter at their border for the observed annihilations to be significant enough to be noticed.
With the incredibly vast distances between galaxies, not to mention the vast distances and relative sparseness of inter-cluster space, would it actually be expected to see significant annihilation zones if there were entire clusters or super-clusters composed of antimatter? Observations of the planets, stars. and galaxies in clusters composed entirely of anti-matter would not differ in the least from their equivalents composed of matter.
It is still entirely possible, and not at all improbable that the ratio of matter to anti-matter in the observable universe approaches 50:50.
Let's not ask why, until we know there is a why to be asked.
Actually, we are all made of antimatter. It was just misnamed "matter" because it's a shorter word.
I am sure that there are many other solipsists out there.
Because it's all we've got.

1. What if - on the event horizon of black holes - when particles and antiparticles are created, only the antiparticles are sucked into the black holes and the particles (matter) is able to escape the event horizon?
Over time, (a crapload of time), there will be a surplus of particles in the universe.
2. Also, we can only see the universe as far as light has traveled to us since the universe started.
We don't really know its extent. What if antimatter and matter are compartmentalized in different regions of the universe, with only a smattering of "the other" in areas where one is prevalent?

Were it not for Dark Matter the OP would seem more relevant five or ten years ago than it does now. Given that it is now thought that matter as we know it, matter that interactls via Maxwell's Laws, is not the main mass constituant in the Universe, that the relationship of Dark Matter to cosmology is a tad more important than the lack of symmetry between matter and antimatter. The OP could have come from a time wrap, although I know that there are still important issues about symmerty breaking events in the early history of our Universe.
So there is good confidence that Dark Matter exists, but we don't know yet what it is, galaxy clusters and galaxy dynamics behaves as though matter. that has gravity but otherwise does not interact with the visible matter, can model how what is visible is moving. Here computers are key tools in the argument. I should say that it might be more important for us to pay attention to what Dark Matter might be.

"You barge into discussions with your off-topic hosts file nonsense" - by Zontar The Mindless (9002) on Friday April 11, 2014 @09:51PM (#46731153) FROM -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
You said my "APK Hosts File Engine" is a virus/malware http://slashdot.org/comments.p... but it's EASILY PROVABLE it's not, right there in that link too.
Now PROVE YOUR FALSE ACCUSATION above: Show me a quote OR POST of me posting off topic on hosts where they did NOT apply... go for it!

You avoided backing up your accusation where YOU said I say you are Barbara, not Barbie = TomHudson (same person http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... , & sockpuppeteer like you) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
Funny you can't back up your "bluster" there either, lol...

Why, Lastly?
You're crackers! See here multiple personality disorder http://slashdot.org/comments.p... + manic depression http://slashdot.org/comments.p...

P.S.=> So, THIS quote below is my policy on sockpuppeteers like you Zontar = TrollingForHostsFiles (your sockpuppetry):
"The only way to a achieve peace, is thru the ELIMINATION of those who would perpetuate war (sockpuppet masters like YOU, troll -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... ). THIS IS MY PROGRAMMING -> http://start64.com/index.php?o... & soon, I will be UNSTOPPABLE..." - Ultron 6 FROM -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Which quite obviously, I am, since none of you DOLTISH TROLLS are able to validly technically disprove my points on hosts enumerated in the link to my program above of how hosts give users of them more speed, security, reliability, & anonymity... period!
(Trolls like YOU that use sockpuppets http://slashdot.org/comments.p... (your sockpuppet "alterego" TrollingForHostsFiles) & TomHudson - Barbara, not Barbie too http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... before you)
