Physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are reporting that they have discovered a new clue that could help unravel one of the biggest mysteries of cosmology: why the universe is composed of matter and not its evil-twin opposite, antimatter. If confirmed, the finding portends fundamental discoveries at the new Large Hadron Collider outside Geneva, as well as a possible explanation for our own existence.
the team, known as the DZero collaboration, found that the fireballs produced pairs of the particles known as muons, which are sort of fat electrons, slightly more often than they produced pairs of anti-muons. So the miniature universe inside the accelerator went from being neutral to being about 1 percent more matter than antimatter.
why the universe is composed of matter
and not its evil-twin opposite, antimatter.

Isn't the whole particle accelerator thing where this mini-universe being created? I had thought that that was the only experiment of its kind world wide...

The answers they seek can be discovered much more efficiently through open minds and psychadelic drugs, but once again the potential discoveries of inner space are ignored so we can "learn" results from a giant machine of our own creation. Instead of just accepting our environment as it is and exploring from there, we must create machines that simulate, ultimately giving us the results we desire over the reality of what really is. Are we creating a new reality?
That's all I gotta say, lol
It would save so many resources and so much money if the
scientists would just explore the universal mind for their answers.

Large Hadron Colliders
edited to add, things that allow them to smash particles into other particles at extreme speeds to see what happens

Meanwhile, in our counterpart universe, scientists have discovered why their universe is composed of normal, healthy anti-matter and not evil, destructive matter.

Isn't that what they're doing? How does using resources and money make it otherwise?
