The Big Bang, or the highest granting theory to the start of the universe, should have created an equal amount of antimatter and matter. However, the observation of the violation of CP-symmetry by Chien Shiung Wu and the basis of Baryon asymmetry shows that there is more matter than antimatter. This does not make sense; something must have tip these balances. This action is known as baryogenesis. Credit and found: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http

Matter Just Matters: What is the weak force? What role does it play, and how does it work? By: Ian Davis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit and found: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencefacts.net%2Fnuclear-force.html&psig=AOvVaw2bwBiW9OaZcLF5rq5ygV50&ust=1622740466690000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCOjd8r65-fACFQAAAAAdAAAAABAJ Introduction: As discussed before, we have already gone over two out of four fundamental forces; now, we are onto the weak force. Besides the strong force, I had never heard of these subatomic fundamental forces, especially their purpose and how they affect us. So I stumbled across this term while learning about particle physics, and to master my way of the forces, I will need to learn about the weak force, and I am doing so excitedly. My Thoughts Before Research: My first thoughts concluded that the weak
