Why is There More Matter Than Antimatter in the Universe?



The Royal Institution

LHCb has observed CP violations in charm quarks. What implications does this have on our quest to find out why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe?

  1. Because there's an infinite time duration timing sequence of quantum orbital, in holographic resonance imaging, at the symmetrically balanced Universal Singularity, perceived as a Single Side Band wave-package, unitary probability-envelope Conception of Spinfoam Totality.

    "The very first moment", the implication of the Planck Dimension as the driver oscillation of e-Pi-i resonance imaging of multi-phase superimposed frequency interference positioning Image condensation and probability distribution.., the big Quantum Computation in the sky, appears to look like an explosion, but so does a Radio TV transmission when AM-FM sound is used to modulate EM circuits, ..circuits that are naturally embedded functions of the Observable Universe.

    We can never know what is on the other side of a Black Hole Singularity unless there's a specific case of lensing. (Compelled to imagine something like that happens in the LHC)

    We are made of, substantiated by, ..a standing wave positioning of time duration timing rates, that are integrated by/as recirculating modulated pulses of Superspin mass-momentum, "materially", here-now-forever.

  2. Matter is a physical perception and anti matter is a non physical anti perception and IMHO must be equal for any amount of one or the other to exist.

  3. Here's great news about finding solutions in string theory
    Please send this news to physicists
    Paul Romatschke, an associate professor of physics at CU Boulder, has devised an alternative set of tools to those that created string theory's three-quarters dilemma, a mathematical puzzle that has plagued scientists for years and has kept them from fully understanding and proving this possible "theory of everything.
    Physicist finds loose thread of string theory puzzle
    We hope that physicists will work out a number of new predictions about the charge and mass of molecules from superstring theory.

  4. Before I knew how everything worked, I believed that the reason there was more matter than anti-matter, was because at the birth of the universe there was an equal amount of matter/anti-matter, but because they would collide and explode, a huge amount of energy would be released, and I had just learned that energy=matter, so by adding 1matter and 1 anti-matter, you would end up with 0.5 matter or something. Than I learned that anti-matter is just the same as matter with the charge being negative instead of positive, and that whole theory went down the drain. Yeah, made no sense, but I was 14, so I wasn't realy well educated in physics at that point.

  5. I'm wondering how many guesses are here. That the matter = antimatter at the outset is one. That the traces detected by LHC ARE indicative of Dmesons (and nothing else). That we could detect antimatter well enough to assert that there is less (example, if it decayed, could it have decayed into some form we have yet to detect or even conceive ? )

  7. I am able to take Bach's Partitas and flip them up side down, on the computer. I have to raise or lower the parts an octave or two in order to keep it in bounds. A remarkable thing happens when the catastasis is reached. I have to adjust just a few bars to finish the accumulating idea, that is absent from the original. That's the result of a matter, anti-matter relationship, in music. Considering the very same frequency relationships exist in both Bach's music and the frequency relationships between subatomic "particles," (DeBroglie waves), this anomaly is very interesting to me.

  8. Here is what I say
    100% nothing doesn’t exist
    By extension
    100% something likely also doesn’t exist
    And yet my sentance apply
    Nothing ought to be reified by something

  9. well… if we hadn't ''loose'' that <half> of anti-matter at the beggining of the Universe…
    probably we wouldn't have a universe now!!! (just a simple matter-meets-antimatter thing)…

    but as you learn from "we-think-we-know" quantum theory…

    matter and anti-matter '''should''' pop's out from nothing…
    so ''nothing'' do not exists…

    I think we maybe missing to detect/discover some fields (similar to the Higgs field)
    that interfere with <???????> to create/generate/?whatever matter/energy/space…

    ?Whats the fabric of space (?the old ether thing!)… what sustain it….

    is distance/space (3D/4D an illusion… but a very persistent one?)…
    so… what would be and wormhole for the fabric of space???
    and what would be the matter-corpus of it???
    ?antimatter??
    ???

    Now I'm confuse… 😉

  10. The issue I take with this line of thinking, is that we named "matter" and "Anti-matter" . So if "Anti-matter" was abundant we'd still be made of matter and "Anti-matter" would be hard to find.

  11. Given the distance between galaxies, is it possible that some galaxies are made of matter, and others are made of anti-matter? If anti-matter galaxies existed, would photons from an anti-matter galaxy be any different from photos in a posi-matter galaxy? And could photons and gravitons from a posi-matter galaxy travel through an anti-matter galaxy in the same way they travel through a posi-matter galaxy?

  12. We only know antimatter by name but never seen it. The universe IS antimatter, the matter is there like raisins in a raisin-bread antimatter holds matter in place, our planet wil loose its protecting atmosphere the sun would burn up in pico seconds.Antimatter is the protective 'substance' of the universe, we can push our steering engines against it to correct our direction.

  13. Tara Shears needs to instruct all other instructors on her fantastic method of conveying information to make it such an enchanting experience.
