Even though it is very difficult to observe spontaneous proton decay, it may be that our very existence is a consequence of the reverse process, the production of protons, or more simply, of quarks, from an initial situation in which there were no more quarks than antiquarks, which is the most natural way to imagine the universe starting out. Matter on the earth is made up mainly of protons and neutrons, which in turn are made up of quarks. There are no antiprotons or antineutrons, made up from antiquarks, except for a few that physicists produce in large particle accelerators. We have evidence from cosmic rays that the same is true for all the matter in our galaxy: there are no antiprotons or antineutrons apart from a small number that are produced as particle/antiparticle pairs in high-energy collisions. If there were large regions of antimatter in our galaxy, we would expect to observe large quantities of radiation from the borders between the regions of matter and antimatter, where many particles would be colliding with their antiparticles, annihilating each other and giving off high-energy radiation.请翻译整段话

尽管观察自发质子衰变非常困难,但可能我们的存在本身就是一个反向过程的结果,即从最初没有比反夸克更多的夸克的情况下,产生质子或更简单地说,产生夸克。这是我们想象宇宙开始的最自然方式。地球上的物质主要由质子和中子组成,它们又由夸克组成。除了物理学家在大型粒子加速器中产生的少数反质子或反中子外,没有反质子或反中子,它们由反夸克组成。我们有来自宇宙射线的证据表明,我们银河系中的所有物质都是如此:除了在高能碰撞中作为粒子/反粒子对产生的少数外,没有反质子或反中子。如果我们的银河系中有大片的反物质区域,我们期望观察到来自物质和反物质区域边界的大量辐射,那里许多粒子会与它们的反粒子碰撞,相互湮灭并发出高能辐射。
