but wait! part 3

Another issue with the big bang has to do with what the universe is made of. So you know how I ran through the timeline of the big bang a couple entries ago. Well at that point where the energy cools down enough to start forming matter something strange seems to have happened. When energy like photons spontaneously transforms into matter (yes this does happen, a common way in which it happens can be found here) it produces an equal amount of matter and antimatter. So when all the energy of the early cooled down and formed matter it should have made equal numbers of matter and antimatter. It should be noted that when a piece of matter and antimatter collide the annihilate each other and turn back into the photon that produced them. So there are two possible things that could have happened. Either all of the matter and antimatter would have collided and annihilated or they would have separated and gone to different parts of the universe. But we have a slight problem. We haven’t found any of that antimatter. The only antimatter we ever see was produced recently, but cosmic collisions or pair production. We haven’t found any from the early universe. This is obviously strange and hard to explain. Personally I think we should be looking for it. Perhaps there is a natural separating force that spreads them apart when they are in large numbers or…I don’t something that drove them to the edge of space-time or something. Or perhaps they are in a different dimension…well, I guess that’s why they call it a mystery.
