| Abstract: |
One of the unsolved mysteries of our universe is why it contains matter: why the
universe, in the Big Bang, failed to create equal amounts of matter and antimatter, which would then annihilate against each other, leaving only radiation. Instead, there was a small primordial excess of matter over antimatter. I will discuss the consequences of this excess as the universe evolved, leading ultimately to us. |
