| Abstract: | One of the hypotheses to account for the cosmic gamma-ray bursts invokes collisions between antimatter bodies of asteroidal mass and stars. This paper points out that, should this idea be correct, the numbers suggest that the antimatter is cosmological, and that alocally measurable ratio might be used to determine the effective gain in mean mass density relevant to the possible closure of the Universe. The effective mass gain factor would have a minimum value of 2 and could be much larger. |
