From the vastness of the universe down to the minuteness of the electron, antimatter should be everywhere - So why can’t we see it? New results coming out of CERN point us towards the electron and the possibility it might not always be perfectly round…But how can we possibly measure such incredibly small irregularities in a particle already at the subatomic level? And how can this help us in understanding one of the universe’s greatest mysteries?

I have two questions: - Why the shape of an electron could cause the imbalance between matter and antimatter? - What shape should the positron be and why couldn't that have taken over?

The most important thing is missing one the video: why and how does the shape of the election could cause the master antimatter imbalance to begin with?

The "three quarks" explanation of nucleons only refers to the so-called "valence" quarks. The model also has them containing multiple "sea quarks" of ephemeral quark/antiquark pairs.

I would be interested in another video on any other explanation of the imbalance.

This video misses something important, which is the distinction between egg-shaped and oval-shaped. The electron is not perfectly round (spherical), since it has angular momentum, charge, and a magnetic dipole moment, which combine to give a free electron an "oval" shape. But that shape has no net electric dipole moment. To turn an oval into an "egg" (which does have an electric dipole moment), you need relative motion (apparent shape changes in relativity). So asymmetry in the relative motion of electrons in the big bang could result in an effective electric dipole moment.

What's the chance that matter-antimatter annihilation equally annihilated neutrons, protons and electrons? Would there not have been annihilation of anti-neutrons with protons and all other combinations as well? Where is the energy that came from this event? It seems to me unlikely that annihilation occurred, which indicates the universe evolved as a matter universe only, with the odd antimatter particle coming into existence from other post universe creation processes. So is there any research into why or how a matter only universe could come about?

An important subtlety overlooked in most popular discussions of the Standard Model is that there are four versions of each particle, not two. For example, the electron and positron both have left- and right-handed versions. The “real” or “massive” versions of electrons and positrons are composites of these left- and right-handed versions, bound together by (surprise!) the Higgs boson. This makes the full problem of particle symmetry more complicated — and more interesting — than “just” matter and antimatter, since all four particle types must play a role if your goal is full symmetry.

Thanks. Please excuse my ignorance. Electrons travel. I don't know if it makes any sense to ask how fast they travel around a nucleus. But wouldn't relativity appear to flatten them in the direction of travel? How might that effect their interactions with other particles? tavi.

Really interesting video (thank you), but I didn't pick up on WHY the electric dipole moment explains how CP symmetry breaking is possible. The video appears to assert a connection between one and the other without explaining it (or perhaps I missed this?)

Hot take, what if there isn't an anit-matter problem. What if the natural low energy state for a positron is to be contained within a proton and the natural resting state of an electron is to be contained external to protons, what if being an anti-proton is simply a high energy state? Also, it seems apparent to me that protons and electrons are not actually litterally attracted to each other but are only apparently attracted to each other. You would think that if they were actually litterally attracted to each other, that combining a proton with an electron to form a neutron would be a low energy state, but this is incorrect. The neutron is a high energy state. Lone neutrons quickly decay outside of the nucleus of attoms and when they do, they release a neutrino and convert into hydrogen-1. This mean hydrogen-1 is the low energy state. That means placing the proton in direct contact with the electron require an addition of energy as the electron and proton resisted being put together. I posit that all electrons are reppelled from all electrons, and all protons are reppelled from all proton but that electrons shield protons from the field of other protons and protons shield electrons from the fields of other electrons. So naturaly they want to be close together but resting a distance appart that affords the maximum level of shielding: hydrogen-1

I'm convinced that electrons are shaped like lego bricks, because when you get electrocuted it feels like your whole body stepped on one.

The big bang really went so hard that the explosion was just like "how? And why?"

I think the symmetry break has already been discovered (weak force acts differently on matter than on antimatter), but not how it shaped the early universe.

Where is all the antimatter you ask? Well, what makes it different from normal matter? The charge (there is also chirality but in any case it's still a binary distinction). What if we swapped some labels around, and called protons antimatter? Then you'd have both matter and antimatter in the universe. Of course there remains the issue that we still don't have positrons and antiprotons around, so some symmetry did break. But rephrasing the question this way would help us focus on the way more important question, the nature of charge (which I'm willing to bet is going to be linked to all the other differences)
