ABSTRACT

Some consequences, due to the existence of a pair of decoupled Schrödinger-like but relativistic quantum mechanics wave equations, are explored. It is shown that one equation directly describes the quantum states of a single spin-0 particle, and the other one indirectly describes the quantum states of the corresponding antiparticle. In correspondence with the matter-antimatter symmetry, for a Coulomb potential, a charge conjugation operation transforms the second equation in the first one. However, if a particle could interact with itself (gravitationally or electrically) due to the spread of its wavefunction, the C-symmetry could be broken; therefore, matter and antimatter could be distinguished. Under these assumptions, it is deducted the impossibility of the existence of particles and antiparticles with a mass larger than the Plank mass (mP), or with the absolute value of the charge larger than the Plank charge (qP). It is proposed the existence of primordial antimatter electrical sinks. It is also suggested that all macroscopic matter objects with a mass m > mP, and all macroscopic antimatter bodies with a charge |q| > qP should not be quantum but classical objects. It is argued that these findings could explain the absence of antimatter with a complicated structure and partially explain the excess of charged matter in the known Universe.
