El universo supuestamente comenzó con partes iguales de materia y antimateria y se dice que se aniquilan entre sí. Además, la naturaleza es famosa por su equilibrio entre todo. Entonces, todo lo que vemos es materia y no antimateria (supongo que eso es algo bueno, de lo contrario, todos habríamos sido aniquilados), entonces, ¿a dónde fue toda la antimateria?
Además, ¿existe la antimateria en el mismo espacio que la materia? ¿Cuáles son las principales teorías al respecto?
To answer your second question first: Yes, antimatter does exist in the same space as matter. In fact, the universe creates antimatter (and an equal amount of matter) every day as a matter of course in events like lightning strikes and supernovae, and even in certain nuclear decays. Humans create it in particle accelerators for research and for commercial/medical applications such as Positron Emission Tomography. The thing is, when we create antimatter, we also create an equal amount of matter.
In the hot flash of energy after the Big Bang, particle-antiparticle pairs were popping into existence and annihilating each other constantly. There were almost exactly equal amounts. For some reason, though, for every 100 trillion (10^11) particles of antimatter, there were 100 trillion and one particles of matter. In the ensuing few minutes, all the antimatter and all but that tiny fraction of matter annihilated each other and turned back into energy. Everything we can see today, all the galaxies, stars, and planets, are made up of that tiny amount of matter that was left over. Particle physicists still aren't sure why there was this tiny imbalance in the amount of matter and antimatter, because all interactions we've seen so far produce equal amounts of both. This is one question particle colliders like the Large Hadron Collider are attempting to answer.
