What type of matter's existence did Paul Dirac predict?

  • Dark Matter

  • Baryonic Matter

  • Antimatter

  • Strange Matter

Answer

Antimatter is a type of matter that has the opposite electric charge of normal matter. It was first predicted by the English physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. Dirac's theory showed that the existence of antimatter was a necessary consequence of the laws of quantum mechanics. Antimatter particles have the same mass as their normal matter counterparts, but they have opposite electric charges and other properties.
