Fermilab | 24 Subatomic Stories: Where's all the antimatter? @fermilab | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 26 minutes ago
Einstein’s equation E = mc^2 and the theory of the Big Bang are both generally accepted physics theories and yet, between them, they make an unphysical prediction. They predict that matter and antimatter should be observed in equal quantities. Yet the universe is made only of matter. Why is that? In this episode of Subatomic Stories, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains what is going on.
