Abstract

This paper develops an ontologically rich explanation of the inner mechanics of the annihilation process, starting from a non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) design. This explains the process in terms of the handedness of matter and antimatter, the interaction of the electron and antielectron as they approach, the collapse of their discrete force structures and their reformation into photon structures. The process is more one of remanufacture than destruction. The resulting Cordus theory successfully explains para- and ortho-positronium annihilation. It explains the different photons output, the relative difference in lifetimes, and why Bhabha scattering sometimes happens instead. The theory exposes a deeper common mechanism for annihilation, pair-creation, and bonding.

Summary

Introduction

How do matter and antimatter annihilate? Why does it happen at all? These ontological questions are not answered by conventional physics. This paper offers an explanation of the mechanics of the annihilation process. It uses a design from the non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) sector, the Cordus theory. This theory has previously been used to reconceptualise wave-particle duality, explain entanglement J. Pons, 2012), identify the mechanics of the strong force The present paper complements these concepts by developing an explanation for how the structures of the particles interact and bring about the annihilation process under a NLHV scenario
