Ghostly particles hint at why the universe is matter, not antimatter.
Scientists are uncovering secrets of elusive neutrinos. These "ghost particles" are key to understanding why our universe is made of matter. Researchers in the US and Japan are combining their efforts. They analyze how neutrinos change their "flavors."
It's a cosmic puzzle. Most neutrinos created in the Big Bang should have vanished. They should have annihilated with their antimatter twins. Yet, matter dominates. This imbalance has long puzzled physicists.
What's behind this universe-shaping mystery?
New data from the T2K and NOvA experiments reveal subtle differences. These differences in neutrino behavior might explain the matter-antimatter discrepancy. The findings hint at processes not yet fully understood.
This research could reshape our cosmic origin story. Future studies aim to confirm these groundbreaking neutrino observations.
