Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 31, 2025
Physicists have long questioned why the universe contains so much more matter than antimatter, since models of the Big Bang predict equal creation of both. If matter and antimatter had completely annihilated each other, the universe would consist only of photons, yet we clearly exist in a cosmos populated by matter.
