# Generative asymmetry

Ordinary matter has a *twin/doppelgänger/alter ego* which is called « [antimatter ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter)». The « [***Standard Model*** ](https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-map-of-the-standard-model-of-particle-physics-20201022/)» of physics tells us that *these two versions of matter should exist in the same exact amount*.&#x20;

**Yet *ordinary matter*** **dominates our observable universe.**

*It's still possible to generate antimatter in the laboratory*, but only for very short times because **when matter and its twin are put in contact they simply annihilate each other** while emitting a burst of energy. All the combined mass of the setup vanishes as energetic radiation following the famous equation

$$
\mathrm E = \mathrm m.c^2
$$

*Where **E** is the total energy, **m** is the mass of matter in the experiment and **c** is the speed of light.*

**The fact that things put together explode and annihilate is quite fun**, but it can also be seen as a proof that **our current universe and its rules couldn't have existed if it were purely symmetrical**.&#x20;

If there were the same amount of matter and anti-matter at the beginning of times, all of these would have annihilated, thus no *observable universe*.

# Is lepton a brand of tea ?

There are many kind of [subatomic particles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles). The Standard Model groups most of them in two families : **bosons**, the "force carrier particles" like *photons* which mediate the *electromagnetic interaction* or *Higgs* for the *gravity*, and **fermions** which are the **building blocks** **of matter**.

In the fermions family, **leptons** are forming a group of *fundamental particles* that includes *electrons* and *muons* for the most famous. For each of these leptons exists an isospin neutrino and for each of these particles exists an anti- version. Anti-electrons, anti-muons, anti-neutrinos...

They are ***quite*** **small** in mass and **travel at relativistic speeds** (near the speed of light).&#x20;

# Quasi-simulation

*This is a fully animated generator, click "run" to observe the animation. Use* wheel *to change the observation scale. Drag with **right click** to observe a different area.*

*This live animation is designed to be **experienced fullscreen** on a 16/9 screen at least full HD, and needs a recent (>2015) graphic card (GPU) to run smoothly at its cruise speed of 60FPS.*

*Click "project" then "open" to see the live version in full window, or click* [*HERE*](https://gateway.fxhash2.xyz/ipfs/QmeWv8VovE6DaeRjZgBJt5Jk1vHz19wuq4iqSdGJ7Y9JzH/?fxhash=oo51dXfNphiTEDoYUxxBQWohexMsxZi5k4Jh9bYUimn2rQmz4vr)*.*

# Animations settings

#### Temperature

Add `&scalartemperature=10000` to run the animation for this hash, with a color of 10000 K. For an example [click here](https://gateway.fxhash2.xyz/ipfs/QmeWv8VovE6DaeRjZgBJt5Jk1vHz19wuq4iqSdGJ7Y9JzH/?fxhash=oo51dXfNphiTEDoYUxxBQWohexMsxZi5k4Jh9bYUimn2rQmz4vr\&scalartemperature=10000).

#### Animation cycle duration

By default, the natural duration of animation cycles ranges from 1 to 60 seconds. The mint hash determines the sequence, order and duration of animation cycles.

Add `&perturbation=regular` to enable a regular cycle of animations, each animation mode will be active for 10 seconds then randomly goes to another animation mode for 10 seconds.

# Preview previews

*This is an animation. The FxHash preview is a static picture (4320x4320) issued during the first frames of a particular iteration.*&#x20;

*As they are impossible to see during the minting, here are some premint preview previews.*
