The twist comes from odd behavior in a particle called the BS (pronounced "B-sub-S"), which flips back and forth between its matter and antimatter forms three trillion times per second.

I'd love to know how they know this.

Thanks for asking that question! I'm no physicist and I can't answer it for you, but I did find this: http://www.fnal.gov/pub/presspass/press_releases/CDF_meson.html. (I hope after reading it a few times, I'll have a better understanding.) Cheers!
