A physicist has claimed to have found a testable explanation about why ‘antiparticle’, which are exactly same as subatomic particles except of different charge but display different behavior, that were not explained by the scientific community. Normal particles and “antiparticle” have similar properties except for opposite electrical charge. Thus, technically the only difference between them should be related to their charge, however, this is not the reality and physicists have faced this awkward problem since some time now.

Studies of Kaons and B Mesons particles have shown that their matter and antimatter versions decay in different ways. The discrepancy is called charge parity violation or CP violation. Some believe that solving this problem may lead to increasing the understanding about why the antimatter is much less than matter. Physicist Mark Hadley at the University of Warwick, U. K said that he has found a test and the “violation” is illusory. He said that the rotation of galaxy changes the way subatomic particles break down.

The “asymmetry,” he said, is “a consequence of galactic rotation twisting our local space time. If that is shown to be correct then nature would be fundamentally symmetric after all.” Time moves at slightly different rates under different conditions in the affected area.

He said that the theory can be tested by the researchers. There is enough information showing apparent CP violation in some decays and this they can be re-checked for a pattern aligned with the galactic rotation, he added.

The study has been published in the journal Europhysics Letters.
