Scientists at CERN are bemused as to why the universe exists, according to a new study. From a report, shared by a reader: Recent discoveries suggest that there’s a perfect symmetry between matter and antimatter – meaning it’s not clear why they didn’t annihilate each other upon the birth of the universe. CERN’s latest study sought to find out whether different magnetic properties accounted for matter’s seeming victory after the Big Bang, but found another point of symmetry. Essentially, going by our findings so far, there simply shouldn’t be a universe. Further reading: Universe shouldn’t exist, CERN physicists conclude – Cosmos Magazine.
