The Unexpected Reason Antimatter Exists | Quantum Tunneling and Special Relativity
Have you ever wondered why antimatter exists? Why do all particles have their own mysterious antiparticle twins? It turns out there's a very good reason it exists, but it might not be what you expect...
If you want to learn a bit about quantum tunneling, special relativity and how these things connect to antimatter, then watch this video!

Shots In The Quark is a physics channel run by me (cosmology PhD student Matt Davies). My aim is to explain some of the most advanced, cutting-edge ideas in theoretical physics and philosophy of physics in a way that's accessible to everyone.
Explore my channel @shotsinthequark to find more videos where I take a deep-dive into topics from Relativity and Cosmology to Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics.
