00:00CERN scientists have made a major discovery that could explain why our universe is made of matter
00:05instead of antimatter. Using the Large Hadron Collider, researchers studied particles called
00:10charm mesons and found a tiny difference in how they and their antimatter versions behave,
00:15a phenomenon known as CP violation. This imbalance suggests that, after the Big Bang,
00:21matter slightly overpowered antimatter, allowing stars, planets, and life to exist.
00:27The finding strengthens theories that small asymmetries in particle behavior shaped the
00:31matter-dominated universe we live in today, giving scientists a deeper understanding of
00:36the fundamental laws of physics and the origin of everything.
