The rate of technological development of us humans is so huge that we are today able to bend our limitations and explore beyond what is possible. As a breakthrough, we have today cooled down antimatter using lasers and have made it possible to widen our view of the universe.

The concept of antimatter is a fact and is very important for the existence of this very universe, even from the viewpoint of particle physics. It’s a mysterious entity in our universe, and we know very little about it. It has existed since the creation of the universe, the Big Bang, even so, why is it that we know very less about it than any other “Matter” is a very important question.

Physics is studded with puzzles and problems, in fact puzzles can be said to cause progress in physics. Read about the solution to one such puzzle, the Axion, which has the potential to solve three major problems in physics

The matter we see around us like planets, stars, etc. makes up only 5% of the Universe, while dark matter makes up 27% of the Universe and the remaining by another mysterious substance called Dark Energy. The only things related to dark matter is that it’s invisible, exerts a gravitational pull that helps bind together galaxies and distorts the appearance of space.
