why there is far more matter than antimatter in the universe

Because most of the anti-matter is in the anti-universe? And matter is as rare in the anti-universe -- as antimatter is rare in ours?

“At this point what does it anti-matter?”

We could sure use some antimatter.

During the first few microseconds of the Big Bang, various entities of matter and antimatter fought a war: the antimatter folks lost.

Or maybe because there is more matter in the first place....

Don't the two annihilate each other when they come together.

Is there a law in Physics that states that exactly equal amounts of matter and anti-matter must exist?

Antimatter only exists in one place: the FR servers. It is what causes the Dreaded Triple Post.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

At that moment of creation might not equal amounts of matter and antimatter been created as well as 2 universes, one primarily made of antimatter and ours?

Wasn’t this explored back in 1969 with the movie JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN.

Curious article. They discuss it as if it is a totally new concept, but this has been a cosmology topic for a long time. The balance (or lack thereof) between antimatter and matter was already part of science fiction stories in the 1950s. Mr. Spock even commented in a Star Trek episode about the mystery of the missing antimatter in the universe in the 1960s tv show. I attended astrophysics lectures that covered the issue in the early 1970s.

Not quite identical.

In the anti-universe, Spock has a beard.

A simplistic answer to the riddle is:
‘nature abhors a vacuum.’

Since it is at the ‘quark level’, that the ‘charged fields’ can be measured, either positive or negative, and the measured quantities of positives outnumbered the negatives, the ‘null’ fields must be the areas where they have NOT ‘canceled each other out to nothingness’, but must be in perfect numerical equilibrium, and therefore neither polarity is the greater field.

A simple bar magnet has polarized ends along the long line of the bar. But what does the middle of the bar register?
Equilibrium.

Hope they try to create some antimatter in the laboratory. They will get a Nobel prize, posthumously.

Hmmm...wondering if gravity is a property of matter, is anti-gravity a property of anti-matter? Universes would flee their anti-counterparts.
