Maskawa's work has been instrumental in understanding the matter-antimatter imbalance in the universe. What is this imbalance called?

  • Asymmetry

  • Anomaly

  • Asynchrony

  • Atrophy

Answer

The matter-antimatter imbalance, known as the baryon asymmetry, is a fundamental question in physics. The universe is composed almost entirely of matter, despite the fact that equal amounts of matter and antimatter were produced in the Big Bang. The mechanisms that led to this imbalance are still being investigated and are a subject of active research in particle physics and cosmology.
