CERN Collider Breakthrough: Why the Universe Prefers Matter Over Antimatter

By
Introduction: A Universe Built on Bias? In a groundbreaking discovery at CERN, scientists have finally found concrete evidence that the laws of physics differ for matter and antimatter . This observation could solve one of the most perplexing mysteries in cosmology — why our universe is made almost entirely of matter , even though the Big Bang should have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter . This new clue comes from experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) , the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, located near Geneva, Switzerland. The finding marks a pivotal advancement in the field of particle physics , with implications for the Standard Model , CP violation , and our fundamental understanding of the origin of the universe . What is Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry? At the dawn of the universe, matter and antimatter were created in equal proportions. Each particle of matter has an antimatter counterpart — with the same mass but opposite charge. Whe...
