"Scientists think the universe started off with roughly equal amounts of matter and antimatter. (Particles of antimatter have the same mass of their twins but an opposite charge.) Somehow over the ensuing 14 billion years, most of the antimatter was destroyed, leaving a leftover universe of mainly matter.
One potential explanation for this outcome is called "charge-parity violation." CP violation means that particles of opposite charge behave differently from one another..."
To quote my favorite Vulcan, "fascinating."
