Antimatter is essentially the opposite of matter, in which the subatomic particles (protons and electrons) of antimatter have charges opposite to those of ordinary matter.

They really have a strong reluctance to mingle with other particles, which makes them antisocial and difficult to pin down, but they are connected to such a wide range of phenomenon from the subatomic to the cosmic that they could tell us a lot about many different things, many different mysteries about the nature of matter, about what triggers exploding stars, to what's going on in the heart of the sun, to what the universe might have been like, the conditions within seconds after the big bang.

Cosmologists believe that more than 90 percent of the universe consists of dark matter — invisible subatomic particles that make themselves known only by their gravity.
