The Matter Of Antimatter: Answering The Cosmic Riddle Of Existence

Video Description

You exist. You shouldn’t. Stars and galaxies and planets exist. They shouldn’t. The nascent universe contained equal parts matter and antimatter that should have instantly obliterated each other, turning the Big Bang into the Big Fizzle. And yet, here we are: flesh, blood, stars, moons, sky. Why? Come join us as we dive deep down the rabbit hole of solving the mystery of the missing antimatter. This program is part of the Big Ideas Series which is supported in part by the John Templeton Foundation.
