Full Idea
Our best theories of physics imply we shouldn't be here. The big bang ought to have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter particles, which would have almost immediately annihilated each other, leaving nothing but light.
Gist of Idea
Current physics says matter and antimatter should have reduced to light at the big bang
