The CP violation: why is there matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe?

In the vastness of the observable universe, a paradox arises for physicists: why does matter dominate antimatter when the fundamental laws of physics seem to favor an almost perfect symmetry between the two? This cosmic imbalance, called matter-antimatter asymmetry, has intrigued particle physics specialists for decades. At the heart of this enigma, CP violation appears … Read more

The cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry

The matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe remains a fascinating enigma in cosmology and fundamental physics. While the Standard Model predicts a symmetric creation of matter and antimatter during the Big Bang, our observations show a striking predominance of matter in the current Universe. This imbalance raises profound questions about the nature of physical laws, the … Read more
