The Universe As We Know It Shouldn't Exist | The Matter-Antimatter Problem

The video explores the mystery of why the universe exists despite the expected annihilation of matter and antimatter. It delves into the properties of antimatter, the processes of annihilation and pair production, and the imbalance between matter and antimatter. The role of the weak force in decay processes is discussed, along with the need for new theoretical frameworks like the Grand Unified Theory to solve these mysteries. Future research directions in theoretical physics are also highlighted.
