**Ask a monkey a physics question thread**

I'd also like to know the deal with anti-matter. Specifically, is it a proven entity or a theoretical construct like parallel universes or the cat in the box? If the latter, obviously then what is the rationale for proposing its existence? If the former, where is it?

Dunno why I'm answering these questions as I'm not 100% but yeah it's been detected, they can even play about with the stuff. Happens quite often/all the time in places like CERN & any other high energy particle physics.

There just isn't very much of the stuff (otherwise we wouldn't exist) I don't think they know why there is so much matter and so little anti-matter.

I sense an Ongdentity paradox arising here.

But it's like literally what it is. Some things the same like mass (I think) other things opposite like charge (& spin?).
