Where the Biological Antimatter is?

It is evident that living beings made of matter surround us. These living beings contain atoms with electrons and protons. However, there are not living beings made of antimatter surrounding us. This hypothetical living beings made of antimatter should contain antimatter atoms with positrons and antiprotons. Why does this biological matter-antimatter asymmetry exist? This work presents a surprisingly simple answer to this question. In short, this is a theoretical consequence of the introduction of special relativity in quantum mechanics. In addition, it is necessary to assume that both an electrically charged particle with mass and the corresponding antiparticle could interact electrically with itself. Finally, for breaking the theoretical matter-antimatter symmetry, it is necessary to postulate that a particle electrically interacts with itself differently than the corresponding antiparticle interacts with itself.

The question “where the biological antimatter is?” is not a trivial question. This is because its answer brings transcendental implications for our best physical theories. Fortunately, the answer to this question presented in this book coincides with our everyday experiences. Biological antimatter does not surround us because biological antimatter cannot exist. The author invites the readers to follow him through this exercise of scientific curiosity.
