Why does the universe contain so little of its own mirror image?
In short: Antimatter consists of identical particles with opposite charges, yet it has largely vanished from our universe. This video explores the mystery of why this elusive substance is so scarce and examines recent findings from the LHCb experiment.
Tara Shears investigates the fundamental mystery of why the universe is dominated by normal matter rather than its oppositely charged counterpart. By examining the latest results from the LHCb experiment and other research, the discussion highlights the ongoing scientific efforts to understand why very little antimatter survives in the modern cosmos.
