Antarctic

The Antarctic (US English, UK English or and or) is a polar region around the Earth's South Pole, opposite the Arctic region around the North Pole.

Antimatter

In modern physics, antimatter is defined as a material composed of the antiparticle (or "partners") to the corresponding particles of ordinary matter.

Antiparticle

In particle physics, every type of particle has an associated antiparticle with the same mass but with opposite physical charges (such as electric charge).

Antiproton

The antiproton,, (pronounced p-bar) is the antiparticle of the proton.

Cosmos

The cosmos is the universe.

CP violation

In particle physics, CP violation is a violation of CP-symmetry (or charge conjugation parity symmetry): the combination of C-symmetry (charge conjugation symmetry) and P-symmetry (parity symmetry).

Electric charge

Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

Energy

In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.

Experiment

An experiment is a procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis.

Flux

Flux describes the quantity which passes through a surface or substance.

Matter

In the classical physics observed in everyday life, matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume.
