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."

  1. WTF are they studying?? by wbr1 · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    From TFA:

    To witness CP violation.... The accepted theory...allows for a low level of CP violation... So researchers have been trying to find cases in which CP violation is higher.

    Oh, never mind it stands for charge-parity. One would have thought they would find a better acronym.
