New Theory: Forgotten Heavy Neutrino May Explain Matter's Dominance Over Antimatter After the Big Bang
Physicists suggest that a newly reconsidered uncoupled heavy neutrino affected the early universe's energy density, creating conditions for matter's dominance.

A recent study published in Hayadan states that an uncoupled heavy neutrino could have faded slowly but existed long enough to temporarily dominate the energy density of the early universe. This likely created conditions explaining the observed matter-antimatter imbalance after the Big Bang. This theory offers a fresh opportunity to investigate the mystery of matter's dominance over antimatter.
