Here we refer to invariance of physical laws under charge (C), parity (P) and time reversal (T) transformations. While in quantum field theory CPT invariance is a theorem confirmed by experiments, the symmetry principles applied to macroscopic phenomena or to the whole of the Universe represent only hypotheses. Since both versions of thermodynamics are different only in their treatment of antimatter, but are the same in describing our world dominated by matter, making a clear experimentally justified choice between CP invariance and CPT invariance in context of thermodynamics is not possible at present. This work investigates the comparative properties of the CP- and CPT-invariant extensions of thermodynamics (focusing on the latter, which is less conventional than the former) and examines conditions under which these extensions can be experimentally tested.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e16031191","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,25]],"date-time":"2014-02-25T11:06:23Z","timestamp":1393326383000},"page":"1191-1210","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["One Antimatter\u2014 Two Possible Thermodynamics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"Klimenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, SoMME, QLD 4072, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"Maas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karlsruher Institut fur Technologie, ITT, 76131, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"413","DOI":"10.1038\/051413b0","article-title":"On certain questions of the theory of gases","volume":"511","author":"Boltzmann","year":"1895","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Brush, S.G.
