The video explores the concept of antimatter, explaining that every particle has an antiparticle with opposite charge. When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate, converting into energy. The video delves into the mystery of why the universe is dominated by matter despite theories suggesting equal amounts of matter and antimatter should exist. Neutrinos, tiny particles with different 'flavors', are studied to understand this imbalance. Experiments at nuclear reactors track neutrino oscillations, which may reveal differences between neutrinos and antineutrinos, offering insights into the universe's asymmetry.
