Why antihydrogen and antimatter are different

As Paul Dirac realized, the existence of antihydrogen does not in itself prove the existence of antimatter. A look through the history of the subject, and in particular the role played by the CPT theorem, shows that ultimately it came down to experiment to prove the existence of antimatter through t...
