Spectrometer from Alpha can detect antiparticle
The collective of international scientists who have successfully built Alpha spectroscopes can detect the signs of the existence of anti-space.

On August 26, after 20 years of research, the international scientific community comprising 500 scientists and technicians of the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN) successfully built a spectrometer from Alpha (AMS ) can turn the universe into the ultimate laboratory of space research.
This $ 2 billion AMS heavy equipment, worth $ 2 billion, will be transferred from the US special aircraft from Gieneva (Switzerland) to the United States.
However, the US shuttle took AMS to the International Space Station (ISS) in January 2011 must be approved by the US Congress.
Nobel Prize-winning American physicist Samuel Ting said the AMS would boost the leap of understanding of human space, because when installed on the ISS Station, AMS could detect signs of antipathy. The pillar may be at the edge of the living human universe, an entity so far only fictional in science fiction stories.
Scientists hope that the AMS findings will also answer big questions about the existence of antimatter or somewhere in space that is entirely antimatter, just like the universe. Currently only contains material.
The matter and antimatter that scientists think are about the same amount after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago to create the universe, will destroy each other in contact with each other and release the source. giant energy.
British theoretical physicist John Ellis, who is regarded as the father of AMS, said that AMS will detect many surprises.
The first goal of the AMS is to hunt for dark matter, supposedly accounting for 95% of the universe, and dark energy, as well as providing new knowledge about high-energy cosmic rays, a field explored because it can only be studied in the universe.
CERN is also the agency that owns the LHC giant particle accelerator that simulates the Big Bang explosion that created the universe and a series of experiments that can solve many of the mysteries of the universe.
