CP violation

CP violation refers to a phenomenon in particle physics where the laws of physics are not the same for matter and antimatter. "C" stands for charge, which relates to the properties of particles (like electron vs. positron), and "P" stands for parity, which involves the spatial arrangement of particles. In simple terms, if you flip both the charges and mirror the particles, their behaviors should be identical if CP symmetry holds. However, experiments have shown that certain processes involving certain particles differ when comparing matter and antimatter. This imbalance may help explain why our universe contains more matter than antimatter.
