Why is there more matter than antimatter when the properties of the 2 things seem symmetrical? Back in 1964 a particle called the "kaon" was discover that showed the symmetry between the two was not quite perfect and slightly favored matter over antimatter, but kaons are rare and that effect was much too slight to explain why the Big Bang didn't annihilate nearly all the matter in the universe. But now in today's issue of the journal Nature indications of a far larger discrepancy was found between neutrinos and antineutrinos, and matter is winning. More muon neutrinos are oscillating into electron neutrinos than muon antineutrinos are oscillating into electron antineutrinos. The evadens is only 3 sigma so there is still one chance in a thousand it's just a statistical fluke and 5 sigma (one in a million) is required to officially claim a discovery but it's still a pretty big deal.

I might stick my neck out and then stick it out further, I have some preference for the B - L system with the sphaleron. There is a sort of gauge action or symmetry transformation between baryons and anti-leptons and anti-baryons and leptons. Then to take a bigger risk, I think this have something to do with the emergence of space or spacetime.

Because 
No SUSY, No AXION, No WIMP, No HIGGS, No BIG BANG...

Please, read it:
