She found that left-oriented and right-oriented atoms decay at different rates. That might not seem like a big deal, but in 1956 Chien-Shiung Wu looked at the radioactive decay of cobalt-60 atoms. Matter neutrinos have left-handed helicity, while antimatter one have a right-handed helicity. Neutrinos have a property called helicity, which describes whether they spin to the left or the right as they travel through space. But it turns out they are slightly different. Neutrinos don't have any charge, so if the sign of charge were the only difference between matter and antimatter, "antimatter" neutrinos would be identical to "matter" neutrinos. One of the main differences has to do with neutrinos. But matter and antimatter have subtle differences. So you might think that an antimatter universe would look exactly like our regular one. There's nothing special about choosing one or the other. We could have assigned a positive charge to electrons and a negative one to protons. What's interesting is that the signs of electric charge are a fluke of history. Positively charged positrons are the antimatter version of negatively charged electrons. A proton has a positive charge, while an antiproton a negative one. It was possible to use molecular structure records in the transporter system to restore the physical age though.The basic difference between matter and antimatter is that they have opposite charges. Spending more time in this dimensional realm, the rate of reverse growth increased to a rate where lifeforms would reverse grow to infants from adulthood within minutes and die in reverse birth. Although the universes had totally different timelines, the planets and stars of the Milky Way Galaxy were at least located in exactly the same places.ĭuring a short visit to the reverse universe lifeforms would grow younger at a normal but reverse rate. Beginning a process ended it and starting it stopped it.

Brain functions, language, and operational controls worked in reverse of what they did in the positive matter universe, as the flow of time was reversed. In the reverse universe, the inhabitants of the planet Arret began their life at an old age and slowly grew younger. While trying to rescue the ship, the Enterprise was dragged inside the nova and into the reverse universe. In 2270, while transporting Commodore Robert April to his retirement ceremony on Babel, USS Enterprise attempted to stop an alien starship heading for the Beta Niobe supernova at warp 36. Karl Four, an inhabitant of the planet Arret, in the reverse universe This event occurred when anti-Lazarus stepped through in 2267. Magnetic fields nullified, dilithium crystals were quickly drained of power, and mass attained zero gravity. The effect included, for a split second, the complete disruption of normal magnetic and gravimetric fields, time warp distortion, and radiation variations. The entity would periodically change places with its counterpart distorting the physical laws of that universe while the change occurred. If a person with a counterpart were to step through to either side together, only one entity would exist. Within the negative magnetic corridor, an alternative warp allowed safe interaction with counterpart elements of both universes. As long as this type of contact was averted, safe visitations could be made. This would start a chain reaction that would annihilate the universe, where the event took place, as a whole. Only if the exact identical particle counterparts from the different universes came into contact inside either universe they would annihilate each other. The universes closely resembled each other, identical particles, individuals and planets existed in both universes, where one was composed of matter, the corresponding other was composed of antimatter. The minus universe was the home of anti-Lazarus, a man whose civilization created a negative magnetic corridor to safely connect with the positive matter universe.
