Big Bang’s first fierce fight
— particle antithesis —
wrestling imbalance
By Alicia Sometimes
The early universe didn’t create equal amounts of matter and antimatter. The reason for the matter-antimatter asymmetry is still not entirely known. Abbaslu et al. (2019) look at the properties and questions surrounding the hypermagnetic field. I wanted to capture the ‘battle’ between matter and antimatter and the chirality between the two.
