It Doesn't Matter

Hello!!! I've not blogged in yonks, due to school and work and whatever, but i'll make an attempt today.

Yesterday, just after doing a few chemistry notes I had a weird idea about how matter and anti-matter could be possible, and could have created the universe...but i think there are 3 stages of matter: matter, neutral-matter and anti-matter, which i've based on the building blocks of the atom-
protons(positively charged, mass of 1), neutrons(no charge, mass of 1) and electrons(negative charge, mass of 0)...when beta radiation(consisting of a super-charged electron) hits a neutron, the neutron splits into a proton, and an additional electron. What just happened was one particle became two. Additional matter has been created, although charged.

Now, a proton consists of the same properties of a hydrogen ion, so I assumed hydrogen, the simplest element, could be created from nothing more than a neutron, so It could possibly be plausable that the universe started off as a load of worthless neutrons being hit by a single supercharged electron, creating all of the hydrogen that the world began with!

...hmm..doesn't quite work..as I continued with my studies and realised a 'proton', just because it has the same properties as a hydrogen atom, doesn't make it an atom at all...it's just a proton...it'd be like saying if my sister is wearing green, it must make her a piece of grass! I so fail at chemistry >.<

On the subject of my sister, she went off to uni today, she gave me a brief hug under the instruction of my mother before she left. 16 and a half years is over...we never really knew each other well...but at least she didn't try to make my life a living hell (unlike the female twin of moustache girl XD)! Well, if I'm honest, I would've liked to befriended my sister, hopefully I won't lose contact with her completely when I'm older...but hey, she's gone now. It doesn't matter.
