About
I teach an introductory course in big bang cosmology at Waterford Institute of Technology in Ireland and this weblog will be mainly concerned with the universe and its puzzles (see Categories)…with occasional pieces on science and society, climate science, surfing, skiing and whatnot

ANTIMATTER: an exotic form of matter in which the electric charge of each particle is the opposite of that in normal matter. Question is, why is our universe made up almost entirely of matter?

Im looking to find a gift with a difference for my husband and he loves all documentaries on the big bang etc. Can you advise me where to start looking and also let me know if you ever get over to the NE of England with your public lectures. Thanks for your time.
Sue
Hi Sue, it’s a good question – I’m sure there are plenty of good documentaries but I’ll have to do a bit of a search for one…I imagine Carl Sagan has some great ones..

Thanks for the time and effort put in. There are indeed a lot of information that can be extracted from the seminar. I would gladly help out in areas related to wastewater engineering, system design, membrane separator, anaerobic digester, recovery well, leachate control and topics related to effluent toxicity.
