Scientists at CERN discovered exactly as much anti-matter exists as matter, which means we shouldn’t exist and they don’t know why we do if so. If you figure out why/how we exist in a world half full of anti matter, you deserve a Nobel Prize!

One of the Cern.com main pages still says anti-matter is rare:

"The Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter in the early universe. But today, everything we see from the smallest life forms on Earth to the largest stellar objects is made almost entirely of matter. Comparatively, there is not much antimatter to be found."
--https://home.cern/science/physics/matter-antimatter-asymmetry-problem

The same goes for the antimatter blurb at https://cms.cern/physics/what-and-where-antimatter

Listening to your idol, I did not hear him agree that matter & anti-matter exist in equal amounts. He kept saying that anti-matter is rare.

Under their "news" heading, there are no articles that say what you're saying.

Could you please back up this claim, Peter?

Never mind! I just noted the date your Breaking News!!! clip was posted to YouTube...

Thanks, Peter.

Antimatter 101
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/antimatter-101/
"For every kind of matter particle we know about, there is an antimatter “opposite.” Physicists have observed antimatter versions of electrons, protons and neutrons. We’ve even made a few antimatter atoms, including anti-hydrogen and anti-helium. In fact, the only thing stopping us from making an entire anti-universe—with an anti-you, anti-me, anti-everything—is that it’s very hard to make enough antimatter. And that’s a mystery too. Scientists think that, when the universe was young, antimatter and matter were made in equal quantities, yet in the universe we see only matter. Why is that? Nobody knows the answer, but it is one of the most pressing questions of modern physics."

https://mkaku.org/home/tag/antimatter/#:~:text=KAKU%20ON%20WHY%20THE%20UNIVERSE,and%20antimatter%2C%20is%20fundamentally%20symmetrical.&text=Scientists%20still%20believe%20there%20must,allows%20our%20universe%20to%20exist.

"Our universe, with equal parts matter and antimatter, is fundamentally symmetrical. Beautiful as that notion seems, it gives rise to a startling paradox with truly existential ramifications. If matter and antimatter are in symmetry (as all observations seem to confirm), then theoretically our universe as we know it should not exist. Researchers at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, recently set out to determine why the universe exists despite this symmetry that should’ve resulted in instantaneous annihilation. Unfortunately, the study didn’t turn up any differences. That leaves researchers back where they started. Scientists still believe there must be some undiscovered difference between matter and antimatter that allows our universe to exist. Otherwise, what makes the miracle of our existence possible?"

You have now posted statements in opposition to each other:


      This statement of yours says the boffins only see 'matter':

"Scientists think that, when the universe was young, antimatter and matter were made in equal quantities, yet in the universe we see only matter"


      This statement of yours says equal amounts exist:

"Scientists at CERN discovered exactly as much anti-matter exists as matter"



Is there some way you can clarify the matter? ('matter', get it!) But not to fret. Your reputation here is secure.

>Scientists at CERN discovered exactly as much anti-matter exists as matter

That isn't even what is claimed.
Starting at about the 2:14 point, Kaku talks about the CERN experiment. What CERN discovered is that anti-hydrogen has exactly the same properties as hydrogen. They were hoping there would be some asymmetry in the properties that could explain why there is more matter than anti-matter. That wasn't found.

They did not discover that there is as much anti-matter as matter.

But for interest see:

It's my perception that the OP seeks not knowledge, but attention. I find it unseemly. Had you noticed?

I guess the take away is theoretical physicists don’t agree, because it’s all theoretical. I agree with Mtheory, which Hawking even wrote was our best candidate for a unified theory of everything, what Einstein called, “the mind of god”.

Sounds like a postmodern conundrum. Modernism do not exist?

You have to be a modernist to identify and ponder on such a question.
