New Discovery Could Hint at Why Our Universe Is Made Up of Matter and Not Antimatter

Summary
Why is the observable universe dominated by matter when theory suggests equal amounts of matter and anti-matter were created in the Big Bang?
It’s one of the great unanswered questions in physics.
Now, a new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border could provide an answer.
An experimental team working on LHCb – an experiment operating at the Large Hadron Collider – has reported a difference in the rate at which matter particles decay relative to their anti-matter counterparts.
It is the latest in a series of discoveries hinting at differences between matter and anti-matter that could explain why the universe exists in its current form.
