Antimatter, the intriguing counterpart of matter, possesses an intriguing characteristic: while sharing the same mass as matter, it bears an opposite charge. A theory proposed by the renowned scientists John Wheeler and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman sheds light on the existence of antimatter, rooted in the concept of time-reversibility within physical systems. This means that if you play a movie of a physical system backward, it should still obey all the same laws of physics.

Consider the orbits of celestial bodies in our solar system: if we were to rewind their motion, they should still adhere to the same fundamental laws. This intriguing notion led to the hypothesis that antimatter is essentially ordinary matter moving backward in time. This fascinating concept offers an explanation for the opposite charge of antiparticles. For instance, when two electrons repel each other in the forward flow of time, their interaction becomes an attraction when observed in reverse.

The theory further elucidates the phenomenon of matter-antimatter annihilation. Rather than a mere collision resulting in destruction, it suggests a continuous loop where the same particle oscillates endlessly between forward and backward timelines. However, the precise accuracy of this theory remains a subject of ongoing scientific discourse, sparking intriguing debates among experts in the field.
