Evidence For Antimatter Anomaly Mounts

Posted by samzenpus on from the nature-of-things dept.

sciencehabit writes "The big bang created a lot of matter—along with the same amount of antimatter, which wiped out everything and brought the universe to an untimely end. That's what accepted theoretical physics tell us—though things clearly didn't work out that way. Now, results from a U.S. particle smasher are providing new evidence for a subtle difference in the properties of matter and antimatter that may explain how the early universe survived."

    And at one point we couldn't even model two point particles interacting in a collission. Just because we don't know how it works today doesn't mean we never will.

    All knowledge begins with "Why does X. I don't know, let's find out."
