SUMMARY
Antibaryons are real particles formed from three antiquarks, analogous to baryons which are composed of three quarks. For example, a proton, which consists of the valence quarks uud, has an antiproton made up of the valence antiquarks \bar{u} \bar{u} \bar{d}. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the quark structure of these particles and encourages further research into their properties and existence.
