New twist in antimatter mystery
Quote:Physicists have taken a step forward in their efforts to understand why the Universe is dominated by matter, and not its shadowy opposite antimatter.

This is an interesting development that makes you question whether we're on the verge of establishing a new field in physics, or if scientists got their calculations on the decaying particles all wrong.

It makes sense when you think about it, the asymmetry of matter over antimatter in our Universe can best explained if particles, anti-particles and their interactions are even more fundamentally different than previously thought.
