Here's the abstract of a talk given at the University of Ottawa recently. I was too sick to attend but i think this makes the premise for an interesting discussion. :)

?A COSMIC MYSTERY - WHERE ARE ALL THE ANTIPEOPLE??

Scott Menary
York University

Abstract

Our world is made up predominantly of matter - namely electrons, protons, and neutrons. And yet, in the accepted description of the birth of the universe, the "Big Bang", antimatter and matter were created in equal amounts. Further, the theoretical descriptions of the interactions of particles do not discriminate between matter and antimatter. Based on these powerful and well-tested theoretical ideas, antimatter (like the positron, the "anti-electron") should be as ubiquitous in our universe as matter. So where did all the primordial antimatter go? I will describe present ideas on how matter seems to have won out and the experiments being planned and constructed around the world to test these ideas.

The antipeople lived on collapsed stars, where antimatter is located. ;)

There's less anti-matter than matter in this universe. This is due to circumstances during and after the Big Bang.

The chance that any 'anti-life' can exist is for that reason too small to consider, for we don't even know whether there are actually any planets build up out of anti-matter.

Actually there's not much of a difference between matter and anti-matter, they both can be 'created' at will.

The anti-universe is on the other side of the black holes.

The anti-people coexist with us but are invisible.
