Riddle of matter remains unsolved ..universe shouldnt exist
Using methods 350 times more precise than available as recent as January 2017, science is baffled..
the data does not provide any information about how matter formed in the early universe as particles and antiparticles would have had to completely destroy one another. The most recent BASE measurements revealed instead a large overlap between protons and antiprotons, thus confirming the Standard Model of particle physics.
"All of our observations find a complete symmetry between matter and antimatter, which is why the universe should not actually exist," explained Christian Smorra, first author of the study. "An asymmetry must exist here somewhere but we simply do not understand where the difference is. What is the source of the symmetry break?"

I would hope that the James Webb Telescope might help solve this, and other early matter conundrums.
I hate having to wait all the way until 2019 though.
