Neutrinos may explain … the universe





A just-published study offers something completely different to think about. Researchers believe they have a bead on one of the deepest scientific mysteries of existence: why the matter and antimatter created in the Big Bang didn’t cancel each other out.





Neutrinos and their mirror images in antimatter, the researchers found, don’t behave with absolute symmetry. And that may be why matter won over nothingness, our Science desk’s cosmic affairs correspondent, Dennis Overbye, explains in an essay that also mentions the engines of the Starship Enterprise, cites a number of Nobels and calls humanity “the beauty mark of the universe.”
