"why the Universe is dominated by matter, not its shadowy counterpart antimatter."


Scientists decode why universe is dominated by matter. They have solved the puzzle of the universe being dominated by matter rather than its close relative anti-matter. Physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison made a precise measurement of elusive, nearly mass-less particles, and obtained a crucial hint as to why the universe is dominated by matter. The particles, called anti-neutrinos, were detected at the underground Daya Bay experiment, located near a nuclear reactor in China. Anti-particles are almost identical twins of sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons and neutrons) that make up our world. When an electron encounters an anti-electron, for example, both are annihilated in a burst of energy. Failure to see these bursts in the universe tells physicists that anti-matter is vanishingly rare, and that matter rules the roost in today's universe. 

All the studies that have been done have not found enough difference between particles and anti-particles to explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter. Neither its conform that particles and anti-particles are alike.

I have a question for all of us " why the Universe is dominated by matter, not its shadowy counterpart antimatter. If you can only produce matter and antimatter in pairs, in equal quantities, then why is there so much matter in the universe today, and so little antimatter. Experiments today are trying to investigate the differences that can bring this about. And can the possible explanation of why the universe is still existing lies in the idea that matter and antimatter aren't exact opposites of each other." I have been thinking about this issue for a very long time now and have come up with this hypothesis of " matter and antimatter aren't exact opposites".

And the reasons behind my hypothesis lies on certain facts and assumptions which are listed below.

Well this can be one possible reason but i have got some points which can have the potential to prove it wrong.
1) What is the definition of volume they are talking about? And since the space is made of gas let’s assume the definition of volume to be Molar volume.
2) The molar volume of an ideal gas at 100 kPa (1 bar) is 22.710 980(38) dm3/mol at 0 °C. Therefore the no. of molecules in that molar volume is 22.710*Avagadro no. = 136.752x1023 molecules were present and if we assume space to be infinite then this will give an even no. of molecules when we split it in to identical opposite. 
3) The volume of a matter (at a given pressure and temperature) is proportional to the number of atoms or molecules regardless of the nature of the matter. So if the Matter and Anti Matter are of opposite charge and as I told that the no. of atoms at Limit tend to infinity for an infinity volume is even therefore the total energy generated is evenly opposite and tend to zero. 
Antimatter is opposite to matter in many ways but not all: 
1) It has opposite charge 
2) It can annihilate with their counterpart matter particles 

but antimatter has many similarities 
1) a particle and antiparticle has the same mass (as far as we can tell). So they all attract gravitationally just like real matter (no antigravity with antimatter, sorry!) 
2) they have the same spin 
3) Unstable antimatter particles have the same lifetimes as their matter counterparts.

The 90years old Mystery of Ramanujan's last work - Unlocked

The Discovery of Mathematical Beauty " Mock Theta Function" on the Death bed. On 22nd December, the world celebrated the 125th birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan the man known for natural genius how hailed as an all-time great mathematician, like Euler, Gauss or Jacobi. In his honour, the Indian government declared 2012 as the Year of Mathematics. I pay my tribute to the great mathematical genius who unraveled the many dimensions of Mathematics by leaving behind 4000 original theorems, despite his lack of formal education and a short life-span.– truth, beauty, elegance, abstractness, certainty, fun. While on his death bed, the brilliant Indian mathematician SrinivasaRamanujan cryptically wrote down functions he said came to him in dreams, with a hunch about how they behaved. Now 100 years later, researchers say they've proved he was right. "We've solved the problems from his last mysterious letters. For people who work in this area of math,

Gold Nanostars - The Future of Cancer Detection

Gold Nanostars, couple of nanometers in size and might take thousands of them to span diameter of human hair and yet could be effective in fighting tumor. Nanotechology has shown a promising offer, a new possibilities for cancer therapy.  Photo courtesy of   CrystEngComm Blog Since my initial research, searching for efficient ways to address cancer detection has prompted enormous progress.  On a global scale, by 2030 there will be 21.7 million new cases of cancer and 13 million cancer-related deaths. This health burden is likely to increase if we fail to make the necessary changes in the early detection of cancer.  For years, now, cancer has been studies as a laboratory problem, but, while much has been learned, we are still some distance short of having discovered its cause.  This being the case, we must still, perforce, rely upon already existing clinical knowledge-diagnosis, operation, irradiation -the indispensable triad. Of these three the greatest is, "diagnosis;

Forget Solar Power, Human Power is the Future

That may be a little aggressive, but Princeton University engineers have developed a device that may change the way that we power many of our smaller gadgets and devices. By using out natural body movement, they have created a small chip that will actually capture and harness that natural energy to create enough energy to power up things such as a cell phone, pacemaker and many other small devices that are electronic. The chip is actually a combination of rubber and ceramic nanoribbons. When the chip is flexed, it generates electrical energy. How will this be put to use? Think of rubber soled shoes that have this chip embedded into them and every time a step is taken, energy is created and stored. Just the normal walking around inside the office during a normal work day would be enough to keep that cell phone powered every day. An application that has pacemaker users excited is the fact that this chip could be placed in proximity of the lungs and it would create natural power
