A positron is the anti-matter equivalent to an electron, i.e. it has a positive electric charge instead of a negative charge. Its mass is identical to that of an electron (1/1836th of a proton). A positron does not travel backwards in time.
Baryonic matter has electric charges that causes them to interact with other baryonic matter. The fundamental nature of our world is electromagnetic interactions, as the physical size of matter is actually so small that most physical objects that you see are actually 99% empty space, with these electromagnetic fields holding the matter we see apart and in alignment in order to produce the properties that we see in them.
Contrast this with dark matter with is believed to be matter with no electric charges, and thus does not interact except through gravity and bumping physically into other matter. As matter is so tiny though, it is believed that large numbers of non-interactive matter, like neutrinos, pass through the earth constantly without hitting even a single atom.
Anti-matter is identical to matter in every way except for the same particles having opposite electrical charges.

A new element discovered:
Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to
science. The new element, governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25
assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy
neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are
surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be
detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that
would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four
years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay,
but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the
assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact,
Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each
reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming
isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists
to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical
concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an
element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has
half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Keep in mind, it's hard to get Relativity and Quantum to agree. We still haven't reached a working theory of quantum gravity (not one that predicts anything new, anyway)
