TED-Ed: Can you survive the creation of the universe by solving this riddle? | James Tanton

The video explores the concept of matter and antimatter interactions in a cosmic setting. It introduces a game where particles must strategically position themselves to avoid annihilation. The strategy involves working backwards from the end state to identify safe spots. The narrative then shifts to a galactic event where a device is programmed to find safe positions in a large ring of matter and antimatter cubes. The video concludes with a mathematical model to ensure survival, emphasizing the importance of strategic positioning.

How does the concept of adjacent particles relate to the annihilation process?
