Voyage pour l'Antimonde

Journey to the Antiworld: What's the Matter with Antimatter The world is an asymmetrical place full of structure, yet a credo of modern physics is that there is a profound symmetry to Nature. In his talk, Professor FrancisÊE. Close will examine symmetry and asymmetry, in particular describing how symmetries can become hidden and how structure can emerge.Ê One of the great enigmas is the profound symmetry between matter and antimatter in a universe where there appears to be no antimatter at large, even though individual anti-particles are used widely in medicine and science.
