antimatter: particle that has the opposite charge, parity, and time as its counterpart
CP violation: when antimatter does not behave or mimic its matter counterpart
K1 & K2 particles: two components of a kaon
kaon: a subatomic particle used to study difference between matter and antimatter
CERN: particle research facility in Switzerland
Fermilab: physics research facility near Chicago
Big Bang Theory: idea that universe was created through explosion of massive amounts of energy
Escher: modern artist with a benal portfolio, good for little more than physical demonstrations to illustrate the difference between matter and antimatter
CPT theorem: idea that antimatter should have opposite charge, parity, and time of it's matter counterpart
gamma rays: high energy waves, a result of matter colliding with antimatter
cloud chamber: a device used to study reactions between gamma rays and the atmosphere
"epsilon prime over epsilon": mathematical ratio used to describe difference between matter and antimatter
