Examples
Antimatter is matter composed of antiparticles, such as positrons, antineutrons and antiprotons.
Antiparticles have opposite charges and certain other quantum properties of opposite sign.
It follows that somewhere antiworlds consisting of antiparticles are bound to wander. No traces of these antiworlds have as yet been found.
Antiprotons, the relatively exotic antiparticles of the proton, are difficult to create and were not to be squandered.
Note that subatomic particles sometimes have antiparticles, with opposite charge and spin, that are the same ones going backwards in time.
Positrons, antiprotons and other antiparticles can be routinely created at particle accelerator labs and can even be trapped and stored for days or weeks at a time.
