What was it like when matter defeated antimatter?

<p>13.8 billion years ago, at the moment of the Big Bang, the Universe was the hottest it&rsquo;s ever been in history. Every single known particle exists in great abundance, along with equal amounts of their antiparticle counterparts, all smashing rapidly and repeatedly into everything around them. The spontaneously create themselves from pure energy, and annihilate away into pure energy whenever particle-antiparticle pairs meet up.</p> <p>Additionally, anything else that can exist at these energies &mdash; new fields, new particles, or even dark matter &mdash; will spontaneously create itself under these conditions, too. But the Universe cannot sustain these hot, symmetric conditions. Immediately, it not only expands, but cools. In a fraction of a second, these unstable particles and antiparticles vanish, leaving a Universe favoring matter over antimatter. Here&rsquo;s how it happens.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/what-was-it-like-when-matter-defeated-antimatter-0d09a1f8ca8f"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
