Particle physicists have long thought that they might find such evidence in a particle called the Bs meson, which comprises a bottom antiquark bound to a strange quark. The Bs is one of a handful of mesons that transforms into its own antiparticle and back again 3 trillion times per second before decaying into other particles (see Diagram). These oscillations between matter and antimatter make it a good place to look for evidence that CP violation goes beyond the standard model.

I knew it.! The ol’ Bs meson, Of course, its its so elementary.. <8-}

I think I saw it one night in a physics lab in my early college career....

We need to start research BS meson extensively! Or else we are gonna have a BS meson gap!

Now that is some heavyweight physiscs!

or maybe not if the bottom antiquark becomes unbound to the strange quark

The universe may disintegrate in the blink of an eye! oh my, oh my!
