but wait! part 4

So for this entry I would like to take a moment to ponder further on the topic of the antimatter problem. I did some reading today and found that there are a number of theories to explain the discrepancy. One of interest proposes that due to a very slight difference in matter from antimatter they decay at different rates, implying that most of the antimatter that was created in the big bang has since decayed and all we are left with is the normal matter. One of the most interesting parts of this theory is that people are currently in the process of testing it. At CERN in France/Switzerland they have built something called the Large Hadron Collider to investigate some of the most fundamental questions in particle physics. One of these questions is what happened to all the antimatter. What they plan to do is create beauty quarks (a rare and quickly decaying particle) and their antiparticle and watch them decay. If it seems that the antiparticle decays faster, this would be an indication of the former theory having merit. I intent to keep close tabs on the progress of the LHCb for further developments.
