The problem of big bang matter vs. anti-matter symmetry

Abstract

The Big Bang was symmetrical in the particles and radiation emitted from its singularity source, which implies its resulting in equal amounts of matter and anti-matter and their prompt mutual annihilation. But that did not take place. The favored explanation is that the universe is now all matter, all original anti-matter was annihilated with equal original matter, the original symmetry having been skewed in favor of matter. Research seeks a violation of matter/ anti-matter symmetry to justify current thinking. An alternative is presented: that a mutual annihilation of original matter and anti-matter could not have occurred; that while a moderate amount of mutual annihilations may have taken place our present universe contains the remaining matter and anti-matter in equal amounts, between some particles of which further mutual annihilations still occur at a modest rate.
