Fitch's work helps explain why there's more what than antimatter in the universe?

  • Energy

  • Dark Matter

  • Matter

  • Galaxies

Answer

Matter dominates over antimatter in the universe due to a phenomenon known as Charge-Parity (CP) violation. This means that the laws of physics treat matter and antimatter differently, resulting in a slight imbalance that led to the dominance of matter after the Big Bang. Physicist Paul Dirac first predicted this asymmetry in 1930.
