Tara Shears - Antimatter: Why the anti-world matters

Antimatter, an identical, oppositely charged version of normal matter, is one of the most mysterious substances in the Universe and very little of it survives today. Tara Shears examines the progress being made towards understanding this elusive version of matter, and explains the latest results from LHCb and elsewhere.

If I'll become a good scientist, then I would never forget how royal institution has sparked my curiosity and the knowledge it has given me . Thank you very much for making available these talks on YouTube

What an outstanding lecture.
I'm so blessed and privileged to have access to the world's information.
So grateful for these Royal Institute lectures.
Tara was an absolute pleasure to learn from. Thank you Tara!

Probably one of the best lectures I have ever seen. Not only does Tara have a truly excellent background as a physicist, she is arguably one of the best presenters of highly complex subject matter (no pun intended) I have come across.. Highly compelling and utterly fascinating.

Now this was one brilliantly done lecture!

[sigurjonmyrdal]

One of the very best lectures on particle physics I have witnessed.

I have never heard anyone speak English so beautifully! Not to mention her enthusiasm and great knowledge. Thank you!

I am very very impressed with her capacity to interweave so many newly and different concepts and put them at the reach of our understanding...thanks to her...Tara Shears

This woman has the most soothing voice I've ever heard! She literally sounds like the British voice on my MacBook. LOVE listening to you speak Ms. Tara Shears! Great job!

I really enjoyed this lecture, not only for it's high quality of scientific wisdom, but also for the passionate and enthusiastic attitude of Mrs. Shears. You really could feel that she loves what she's doing.

When I was a kid, I used to love watching the Royal Institution Xmas lectures on t.v. during the school holidays. I even got to go to a couple on school trips. I'm so glad that they're still going. I'm sure that they were an inspiration for TED talks

[elmariachi]

What an excellent lecturer! Really intriguing stuff even if I don't fully understand it all. That's the sign of a good teacher, they can make you passionate about things you never knew you cared about

[ambikasaxena]

excellent speaker and enthusiastic too, the lecture was very interesting and i am really impressed... thanks a lot...

[GeoffTV]

Thank you to Tara and The Royal Institution, that was a great presentation.

This is BRILLIANT! I love how approachable and integral the exposition was. All my respect and admiration to Tara, wonderful role model for future scientists in general. Brilliant I say!!

[KunalJayshwal]

thanks for letting us know about antimatter and the research progress behind it. Everyone in this world should appreciate this.

[Fractalfriend]

Wonderful lecture presented in an easy-to-understand way that shows us how much we don’t know about how the universe works.

[altareggo]

Freakin' LOVE these Royal Institution lectures!!!! They get the best and brightest to present complicated scientific topics in ways that normal folks can relate to and begin to understand. Also, you KNOW you're getting the best that science can offer: the credibility factor of the Royal Institution is Off The Charts!!

[Roedygr]

Tara Shears is an amazing presenter. Her voice is mellifluous and crystal clear. I hope we hear more from her.

[MrBendybruce]

Anyone else watching this in 2020? It may be old, but it is still an incredibly articulate presentation on Anti-Matter for anyone (like me) wanting to get a better feel for the subject.

I am no physicist, but this is one of the most fascinating lectures I have ever seen!
