It is an honor to be here with you

How did you find PF?

I was looking for websites with scientific discussions and exchange of ideas on Physics. Via chatGPT I managed to locate PhysicsForums.

I studied architecture, but I am an amateur researcher on quantum mechanics out of love and admiration for the magic that it offers and the interest of its findings and interpretations.

My interest is focused on the search for antimatter through the various manifestations of its presence in our world. I believe that we should give it a chance to survive as it was not born in vain as a twin of matter.

Light is also a favorite place of interest as it is the most accessible and revealing imprint of matter and its history and where, based on the quantum paradoxes in its behavior, the edifice of quantum mechanics was built. The information courier of the universe may have more to tell us.
There, at the limits of quantum mechanical theories, in its magic, in the imagination it excites, I found a fascinating space to inhabit.

It all sounds interesting, but be aware that this site is dedicated to mainstream science as an academic subject.

sounds perilously close to a "personal theory" of the sort not allowed here. Also, anthropomorphizing inanimate objects such as antimatter is never a good idea.

All antimatter has to do to "survive" is to stay away from matter. BUT ... since it is inanimate, it has no choice in the matter (pun not intended).

What would you suggest we do to "give it a chance to survive" ? It has been contained in labs for as long as 15 minutes. Out in the wild it lasts until it encounters matter.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forum.

give the rules a read before you post anything, especially the bit about personal theories :)

Thank you very much for your welcome and for your interest.
The elementary particles of antimatter are indeed short-lived when they are in a free state in the same way that the elementary particles of matter are short-lived in a free state, but when the elementary particles of matter bind with the corresponding particles of antimatter creating composite particles such as bosons, mesons, or even protons and neutrons consisting of quarks and antiquarks, then they can and do create stable bonds as all the composite particles of our matter consist of equal amounts of matter and antimatter.
I thought it could be a topic of discussion. If you consider this to be a personal theory, then I agree to never refer to this topic again.

all composite particles of our matter are made up of equal amounts of matter and antimatter.

This is the kind of claim that would need to be supported by links to mainstream journal articles or textbooks. If you want to discuss the subject, you should start a new thread in the appropriate technical forum, and be sure to post the links for the articles you want to discuss. Thanks.

Please cite a credible published reference that claims protons and neutrons contain antiquarks in addition to quarks.

Not in this Introduction thread. That would be needed if he starts a thread in the technical forums.
