I was dwelling upon the observed imbalance of matter vs antimatter in the universe and I would like some constructive input...antimatter can be accurately portrayed mathematically by substituting negative time in a spherical wave equation for the corresponding matter.
So, mathematically, antimatter is just matter traveling backward in time. We observe that matter outweighs antimatter in the universe. What ideas do people have about why this might be taking into account that matter in moving forward through time and antimatter is moving backwards...?
Oh, another interesting idea, antimatter that we have created...from the perspective of the antimatter we actually destroy it...So at some point in our future when we either release it or use it in a collision, we are actually either "catching it" or creating it. This brings up interesting questions about causality.
Another one - IF we could accelerate a particle of matter (say an electron) to c (which we know is impossible) then t for that particle would equal 0. Now if we could accelerate a positron to c then t would equal 0 for it as well. If the only difference between a positron and electron is the + or - value of t then these two particles would now be identical. What would this state of t=0 be called? I have never heard of such a state being contemplated so we may be able to name is ourselves...of course, with our current understanding of the universe it would only ever be a mathematical construct (because it is impossible to accelerate mass to c).
Okay, one more off the wall question that is not based in reality, but it allows for some interesting thinking games...is/will 12-15 billion years from the "end of time" be populated with a huge unbalanced amount of antimatter moving backward in time? So, could reality simply be the "interferences" and or unbalance created by these two flows of time? Does almost all matter and antimatter then destroy each other in the middle of our timeliness?
Just for those who think my base axiom about the relationship between matter and antimatter is BS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_electrodynamics (simplistic explanation)
http://www.wbabin.net/babin/wd6.htm (more math focused)
While I was looking up and reading these sites (to double check the my accuracy) I thought of something else. If we destroy a positron and an electron in an accelerator, what we are really doing is "bouncing" the electron on...on what? I do not know. Let me explain. We observe the electron which is moving through t approach the point of collision. We also observe the positron approach the point of collision, however the positron is moving through t(-1), so it is REALLY moving away from the point of collision backward through time as we experience it. So, what really happened (from the perspective of our little electron) was this: The electron reaches the point of "intersect" releases energy (whatever we would observe in the collision), "bounces" and continues on but as a positron moving backward through time. It may not be the same electron of course (but does it really matter...eh, pun). The electron may have been destroyed only to form a positron, which is essentially the same particle. So the release of energy is caused by the "bounce" or the flip from +t to t(-1).
I apologize if some of this is hard to follow, I figured that people (including myself) would like it explained step by step instead of as a mathematic equation. Besides, I think much more quick in words than I do in mathematics. I am doing this for fun. If it makes sense to anyone else, I might try to find the time to put it in to math (if anyone wants me to), not that it will work mathematically (I do not know, just trying to share a random train of thought). Constructive criticism very welcome. Thanks everyone.
