Thanks to Star Trek, I learnt a new word "ANTI MATTER".  But WHAT IS IT? I could not understand the meaning just from the term.

Curious to find what this means, I googled for ANTI MATTER and found this wonderful website http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch

Imagine a hot metal sheet in a coin factory ('energy'). When you stamp out a coin from a metal sheet, you are left with a coin and a hole in the sheet.You could call this hole an "anticoin".

The education from this site starts with the above simplistic anology to understand what antimatter is. In this journey I also learnt the below, which are intriguing concepts to me

The deeper we look into space, the further we look back in time. So is time travel just the travel deeper into space?

The symmetry between matter and antimatter is broken and thats why we exist. How puzzling and intriguing is this?

Thanks to Rolf Landua and Cern  for this information. Thanks to www.crystalinks.com/matter_antimatter.jpg for the picture.
