Why is there a missing piece of the early universe?
In short: Particles typically exist in pairs, meaning matter and antimatter should be balanced. This video explores why scientists cannot find antimatter in the visible universe and how this imbalance allowed life to emerge.
The universe contains a mysterious disparity between matter and antimatter. While particles should theoretically exist in equal amounts, the visible universe lacks detectable antimatter.
CERN scientist Rolf Landua examines the seconds following the Big Bang to investigate this imbalance and explain the conditions that permit human existence today.
