@主持人 :大家好,今天我将带大家了解宇宙中最昂贵且神秘的物质——反物质。它最初只是一个玩笑,但后来被证实是真实存在的。反物质是宇宙的基本组成部分,但我们并不清楚为什么宇宙中没有更多的反物质。我将介绍反物质的发现历程、基本性质以及它在科学和医学上的应用。希望通过这次节目,大家能对反物质有一个更深入的了解,并认识到它在宇宙学和物理学研究中的重要性。我将从反物质的发现历史开始讲起,然后深入探讨它的性质、产生方式以及它与普通物质的相互作用。最后,我还会介绍反物质在医学成像技术中的应用,例如PET扫描,以及未来可能的发展方向。通过这次全面的介绍,希望能让大家对反物质有一个清晰而全面的认识。 主持人:反物质的研究面临着巨大的挑战,因为反物质与普通物质一旦接触就会发生湮灭,释放出巨大的能量。因此,科学家们需要借助粒子加速器等高科技设备,在真空环境中创造和储存反物质。尽管如此,由于技术上的限制和高昂的成本,我们能够获得的反物质数量仍然非常有限。这使得我们对反物质的研究进展缓慢,许多关于反物质的谜团仍然没有解开。然而,科学家们并没有放弃对反物质的研究,他们不断探索新的方法和技术,希望能更有效地创造和储存反物质,从而更好地了解宇宙的起源和演化。我相信,随着科技的不断进步,我们终将揭开反物质的神秘面纱,为人类的科学发展带来新的突破。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the discovery of antimatter, starting from Arthur Schuster's initial proposals in 1898 to Paul Dirac's theoretical work and Carl Anderson's experimental confirmation of anti-electrons (positrons) in 1932. It also touches upon the fundamental symmetry between particles and antiparticles.
  • Arthur Schuster's early, albeit speculative, ideas about antimatter.
  • Paul Dirac's prediction of anti-electrons.
  • Carl Anderson's discovery of positrons and the subsequent understanding of antiparticles' properties.

Shownotes Transcript

It is the most expensive substance in the world by a wide margin.

When it was first proposed, it was actually proposed in jest. However, decades later, the joke turned out to have been true. 

It is a fundamental part of the universe, and by all accounts, it should be everywhere, yet it can’t be found anywhere, and physicists aren’t really sure why. 

Learn more about antimatter, how it was discovered, and what it is on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
