Not a good night to read up on this, but thank you for posting it. I approach it at hobbyist level, but theoretical physics fascinates me.

Wow.
This is easy: Random fluctuations after the Big Bang (”Let there be light”) resulted in matter or anti-matter being slightly more prevalent.
The “winner” is the one we call “matter.”
Also, when matter and anti-matter anhilate you get energy, which is equivalent via E=Mc2 to matter.
Surprised they are still struggling with this...

So if excited hydrogen atoms emit light at four wavelengths in the visible, does excited anti-hydrogen emit dark?

As far as they have been able to discern so far, the antihydrogen spectrum is the same as for normal hydrogen...
If that propagates through all anti-elements, could there be entire anti-galaxies out there?
And, we wouldn't recognize one -- until we stumbled into it -- and were annihilated?

Wouldn’t they have to use an Anti-Ultraviolet Laser?
To: Stosh
and just what is the speed of dark, anyways?

I approach it at hobbyist level, but theoretical physics fascinates me. I loathe it. I must say as an animal lover what they put Schrodinger's cat through turned me off to it completely.

All this doesn't really MATTER, does it?
matter, fatter, splatter, blatter (horn), patter, latter, batter (pancake), clatter, datter (JFK accent for "data"), platter...
There MUST be a poem here somewhere.

This achievement, which was 20 years in the making, could open up an entirely new era of research into antimatter.

I noticed A Glaring grammatical mistake in the very first sentence. They really should fix that.

I always though that anti-matter was what was between a Libtards ears.

Yes, and if we make a copy of you out of antimatter, it would look just like you, except it would have a mustache and goatee and would be evil.

I’m wondering if the Cheshire Cat was a sort of prototype.

So if excited hydrogen atoms emit light at four wavelengths in the visible, does excited anti-hydrogen emit dark?No. As photons are neutral, the spectrum of anti-hydrogen should be completely indistinguishable from that of hydrogen, certainly as to wavelength. Polarization is another question.

Well, photons are identical to antiphotons, so light is identical to “antilight”.
