Question

are there more protons or electrons in the universe?

Answer 1

equal
according to charge conservation law
number of electron = number of protons to cancel charge of each other to neutralize universe

Answer 2

but antimatter

Answer 3

antimatter does not exist by itself it is created by some experiment
yo can hold antimatter for just millionth of second.
by the way i cant understand ask clearly what u want to know??

Answer 4

@theyatin :
sorry but i am not sure of 2 things...
1. Do we know for sure if the universe is exactly neutral and there are no (extra) electrons flying around in some distant part of universe?
2. I think i read somewhere that in the beginning of universe there was antimatter present in large quantity without being 'man-made' and that scientists are theorizing as to what would be the reason for the disappearance of antimatter from the (known part of) universe..

Answer 5

@quarkine
see no one is sure off all this stuff we assume to study making of universe
we do know and its a law if there is +ve charge then there must be some where near -ve charge.
this is balance of nature. . .
for creating antimatter there must be a set of environment to creat it might be possible that in early days of those parameters be there

Answer 6

@theyatin : the symmetry of charge should exist and there should be a balance in the universe..
but also matter and antimatter are symmetrical but their occurrence is asymmetrical.so i think maybe that can be the case with charge also..

Answer 7

no its not the case in charges its just your mind is uncertain and finding for possibilities
there are certain set of conditions which can give us an antimetter scientist are able to hold antimatter for billionth of second and it vanished.
though we can imagine a world where antimatter exist in stable for (negative nucleus and positron moving around nucleus) but its certain not the case of any conservation law. . .
