Why Are We Made of Matter?
StartsWithABang (3485481) writes "The Universe began with equal amounts of matter and antimatter after the Big Bang, and yet when we look out at today's Universe, we find that, even on the largest scales, it's made of at least 99.999%+ matter and not antimatter. The problem of how we went from a matter-antimatter-symmetric Universe to the matter-dominated one we have today is known as baryogenesis, and is one of the greatest unsolved problems in physics. Where are we on the quest to understand it as of April, 2014? A wonderful and comprehensive recap is here."
God hid it.
God is made of it.
Okay, that's the god excuses out of the way... now on with the physics!
By mass, I'm currently ~70% water, ~29.5% matter, and 0.5% cookie dough

o0t!
Because we travel the way we do through time.
Antimatter travels through it in the other direction.
And we when we and the antimatter get all the way from one end of Time to the other--BOOM! It's the end.
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
There are 3 kinds of universes -
1. mostly matter
2. 50/50
3. mostly antimatter.
In type 1 universes everyone is asking "why is everything made of matter".
type 2 universes are empty.
type 3 universes electricty flows the right way.
Watch this Heartland Institute video
type 3 universes electricty flows the right way.
Unfortunately the name of the direction is wrong.
