One of the things I've always found fascinating about the Big Bang theory is that normal matter as we know it should not exist. The reason why it does has puzzled scientists for many years, but now they are beginning to believe that an antimatter anomaly occurred in the extremely young Universe.When the Cosmos a... |

According to the conclusions of a new study, it would appear that the gigantic mass our galaxy has may contribute to underlying the asymmetry in decay rates between matter and antimatter. This phenomenon, called charge-parity (C-P) violation, has remained mysterious for years. The Milky Way has a tremendously large m... |

Researchers working on an advanced physics experiment may have confirmed some of the first signs of CP violation. This could lead to developing a plausible explanation as to why there is more matter in the Universe than antimatter, if equal amounts of the two were produced during the Big Bang.The CP violation is a pa... |

Most contemporary scientists would argue that matter and antimatter behave roughly in the same ways, however proving it is some kind of a challenge. Why? Well, mostly because there is hardly any antimatter in the universe today. Creating antimatter particles is relatively easy in our particle accelerators, capturing ... |

Where is all that strange substance we now call antimatter? Theory predicts that, in the first few seconds of the universe, matter and antimatter were found in roughly the same proportion, but somehow most of the antimatter was annihilated during interactions with matter. These annihilation processes eventually left ... |
