Antimatter explores a strange mirror world, where particles have identical yet        opposite properties to those that make up the familiar matter we encounter everyday;        where left becomes right, positive becomes negative; and where, should matter and        antimatter meet, the two annihilate in a blinding flash of energy that makes even        thermonuclear explosions look feeble by comparison.It is an idea long beloved of        science-fiction stories - but here, renowned science writer Frank Close shows that        the reality of antimatter is even more fascinating than the fiction itself.We know        that once, antimatter and matter existed in perfect counterbalance, and that        antimatter then perpetrated a vanishing act on a cosmic scale that remains one of        the greatest mysteries of the universe. Today, antimatter does not exist normally,        at least on Earth, but we know that it is real for scientists are now able to make        small pieces of it in particle accelerators, such as that at CERN in Geneva.Looking        at the remarkable prediction of antimatter and how it grew from the meeting point of        relativity and quantum theory in the early 20th century, at the discovery of the        first antiparticles, at cosmic rays, annihilation, antimatter bombs, and antiworlds,        Close separates the facts from the fiction about antimatter, and explains how its        existence can give us profound clues about the origins and structure of the        universe.
