Where the quark is the anti-matter?

Post by Rigel »

Neutrinos may help us understand how matter prevailed over antimatter

On an unrelated note, I was listening to an interview with a physicist a few weeks back and he made the comment that mathematically there should be just as much antimatter as matter, and the fact that there isn't is a real head-scratcher for physicists.

Then, this little article popped up in my feed, so of course, I clicked on it.

The essence of the observations are that, while you can observe matter's possible states to force a wave-function collapse to a specific state, neutrinos do not hold that state... The next time you observe them, they might exhibit a different state. It's as if Schrodinger's cat is dead the first time you look, then alive the next, then alive, then dead, all independently of the previous observations.

Unfortunately, this doesn't actually answer the question... Essentially, it moves the goalposts.

"It turns out that there is more matter than anti-matter because there are more neutrinos than anti-neutrinos" is what it boils down to.
"You make me think Hell is run like a corporation."
"It's the other way around, but yes."
