Shouldn’t there be a *lot* of anti-matter out there?

158 views

As I understand it (thank you, recent post), anti-matter and matter are literally identical besides the reversed charges. If that’s the case, shouldn’t there be a more-or-less equal amount of the stuff created through the big bang, as opposed to the teeny tiny amounts we typically find?

If not, why not, and if so, where the hell is it all?

Edit: TLDR, yes there should be, nobody really knows why there isn’t. Thank you!

The short answer is *yes*, there should be. This is one of the big mysteries in physics right now, which some physicists are actively thinking about every day. Why is our universe so matter-dominated? Where did all the antimatter go? Unfortunately, until those physicists figure it out, you probably won’t get a satisfying answer
