T violation

T violation refers to the phenomenon where the laws of physics do not remain the same if time is reversed. In simple terms, certain processes behave differently when viewed backward in time, indicating a fundamental asymmetry. This symmetry breaking is an important aspect of understanding why our universe is made mostly of matter rather than antimatter. Observing T violation helps physicists test the underlying principles of the Standard Model and explore new physics beyond our current theories.
