'The universe should not actually exist', says CERN scientists
In a recent breakthrough
research, CERN Scientists have revealed that the universe which we know it
should not exist.The findings from the BASE (Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry
Experiment) are published in the journal Nature.
The CERN scientists have
performed the most meticulous experiment on antiprotons in which they have
found a symmetry in nature that they say just shouldn't be possible.
The scientists have
raised serious concern about the universe that the first matter formed after
the Big Bang. Because according to the researchers, particles, and
antiparticles destroy one another when they come into contact, if there were
exactly equal measures of both, the universe wouldn’t exist—at least not in the
form we see it today.
So according to them,
there should be an imbalance between particles and antiparticles, even if it is
only by the tiniest fraction.
"All of our
observations find a complete symmetry between matter and antimatter, which is
why the universe should not actually exist," first author Christian Smorra,
from Japan’s RIKEN institute, said in a statement.
In the study,
researchers used antiprotons that had been isolated in 2015. The antiprotons
were measured using the interaction of two traps that use electrical and
magnetic fields to capture them. The team was able to measure the magnetic
force of the antiproton to a level that is 350 times more precise than ever
before.
If there was an
imbalance between protons and antiprotons, this level of precision would be the
best bet for finding it. "At its core, the question is whether the
antiproton has the same magnetism as a proton," said Stefan Ulmer,
spokesperson of the BASE group. "This is the riddle we need to
solve."
"The measurement of antiprotons was extremely difficult and we had been working on it for 10 years. The final breakthrough came with the revolutionary idea of performing the measurement with two particles."

After finding no
asymmetry between particles and antiparticles, the researchers will now work to
develop even higher-precision measurements of protons and antiprotons to
improve on the latest findings. "An asymmetry must exist here somewhere
but we simply do not understand where the difference is. What is the source of
the symmetry break?" Smorra said.
