antimatter cosmology

Antimatter cosmology studies the role of antimatter in the universe's evolution. Antimatter consists of particles that are the opposite of ordinary matter; for instance, positrons are the antimatter counterparts of electrons. In theory, the Big Bang should have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter. However, we observe a universe predominantly made of matter. Antimatter cosmology explores why this imbalance exists, its implications for our understanding of the universe, and how antimatter could potentially be found in cosmic phenomena, affecting theories about the origins and fate of the cosmos.
