When mass is created from energy, it is created in matter/anti-matter pairs.Originally Posted by jurgenj

This is somewhat of a problem; nobody really knows!
Has antimatter ever been detected or created experimentally, or is it purely theoretical in nature?
It has been created, detected and even stored for a short time. It is not only theoretical.

True, but not necessarily always.

when is it not created in this pair?True, but not necessarily always.

The answer to that lies in the fact that everything on earth, in our galaxy, and all other galaxies we have observed, are made of matter. Thus there must be some process in which matter can be created without anti-matter. Otherwise our world would simply not exist.when is it not created in this pair?True, but not necessarily always.
I come to spekulate that antimatter isn't antimatter as of such, but just a special difference in the behavior of the superstrings, or whatever that is the condition.
Anti-matter in the form of anti-protons is created and stored regularly at the Batavia Fermi accelerator.
