Episode Details

What if the universe was made of antimatter? Well, things would be pretty wild! Antimatter is like a mirror image of regular matter, and if it touched normal matter, they’d both explode in a burst of energy. So, if everything in the universe was antimatter, we’d never notice a difference because all the rules would still work the same, but we'd have to avoid any regular matter. The biggest issue is if even a tiny bit of normal matter showed up, it would cause a massive blast. Luckily, our universe is mostly matter, so we don't have to worry about that happening! It's fun to imagine, though, how a whole antimatter universe could exist somewhere else, far away.
