When the universe began with the big bang, matter and antimatter were present in equal amounts. But all observations indicate that we live in a universe made only of matter. What happened to the antimatter?

LOL......science

Some 600 scientists and engineers from 75 institutions in Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States are working on BaBar. SLAC is funded by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

It's Schrodinger.

And this is a huge, huge discovery, a bigger deal than it seems.

And why should you laugh out loud? Are you really a hold over who holds the old pagan view that the universe is eternal?

That the universe had a beginning is generally accepted whether by scientists, those who blithely believe whatever the latest scientific fashion is without understanding it, those who take science with a grain of salt because of theological commitments or those who reject science entirely because of their religious beliefs.

Indeed, the best version of the big bang theory, Hawking's "null initial condition" version is a wonderful mathematical model of what a universe created ex nihilo would look like from within when viewed retrospectively. (And none of either is equal amounts!)

PREDICTION: Outraged by the inequitable distribution of matter and anti-matter, angry Stanford students, egged on by Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow Coalition, will sit in front of the SLAC chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, Western science has got to go", and holding signs saying "CP VIOLATION IS A RIGHTS VIOLATION" and "BABAR IS KING OF THE WHITE ELEPHANTS!". The entire Womyn's Studies Department threatens to resign over the "blatantly paroichal" SLAC, as the accelerator is a phallic symbol, which "rapes" particles in order for white male scientists to assert their dominion over nature. Eventually, the Standford regents cave, and institute the Department of Marginalized Science Studies with a Van Flandern chair in FTL studies.

Yep. The power of conscienceness has been discovered yet again and the trickster has exposed himself.
Synchronicity? Quantum leap?
It's the spiritual world that's real, and the material world is the illusion.
Where did antimatter go? It's been here all along. They simply chose not to see it.

The Rats must have squandered all of it in their transfer payments and "social programs".

A 13 percent preference for the B meson over the anti-B meson, when multiplied by billions of years...

I agree with you, if verified, this is a huge discovery.

Interesting theory:

It's the spiritual world that's real, and the material world is the illusion. Where did antimatter go? It's been here all along.

Are you implying that the spiritual world is comprised of antimatter, which has been eliminated today's material world?

I would be interested in hearing more about this theory of yours.

Every great Quantum physicist that ever lived said it all had to start with a thought, a conscience nudge, or a word. They stop short of calling it "God."

"In the beginning was the word. The word was with God, and the word was God." - Holy Bible

Both Quantum Physics and theology agree. They both say the same thing. Great thinkers had started out attempting to disprove the existence of God, yet they end up going full circle back to a "creator". The start. The thought. The word.
