Theory of Matter and
Anti-Matter
One of the unique theories of Imam
Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.) is that everything except Allah has its
opposites, but this does not result in a conflict, otherwise the whole
universe would be destroyed.
This is the theory of matter and
anti-matter. The difference between matter and anti-matter is that in
matter the electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively
charged. But in anti-matter, the electrons are positively charged and
protons are negatively charged. Scientists have concluded that if one
kilogram of matter collides with one kilogram of anti-matter, so much
energy will be released that the whole world will be destroyed.
Professor Alfven is of the opinion that
there is no other source in the universe, which can generate so much
energy as quasars, except explosion of matter with anti-matter.
Just as uranium was used for exploding
an atomic bomb, helium would be used for exploding matter with
anti-matter. Russian scientists have already obtained anti-matter of
helium. |
