More Sci- Than Fi, Physicists reate ntimatter Physicists working in Europe announced yesterday that they had passed through nature s looking glass and had created atoms made of antimatter, or antiatoms, opening up the possibility of experiments in a realm once reserved for science fiction writers. Such experiments, theorists say, could test some of the basic tenets of modern physics and light the way to a deeper understanding of nature. y corralling [holding together in groups] clouds of antimatter particles in a cylindrical chamber laced with detectors and electric and magnetic fields, the physicists assembled antihydrogen atoms, the looking glass equivalent of hydrogen, the most simple atom in nature. Whereas hydrogen consists of a positively charged proton circled by a negatively charged electron, in antihydrogen the proton s counterpart, a positively charged antiproton, is circled by an antielectron, otherwise known as a positron. ccording to the standard theories of physics, the antimatter universe should look identical to our own. ntihydrogen and hydrogen atoms should have the same properties, emitting the exact same frequencies of light, for example.... ntimatter has been part of physics since 1927 when its existence was predicted by the ritish physicist Paul Dirac. The antielectron, or positron, was discovered in 1932. ccording to the theory, matter can only be created in particle-antiparticle pairs. It is still a mystery, cosmologists say, why the universe seems to be overwhelmingly composed of normal matter. Dennis Overbye, More Sci- Than Fi, Physicists reate ntimatter, New York Times, Sept. 19, 2002 The author of the passage concerning antimatter incorrectly reported the findings of the experiment on antimatter.
