As we understand it, antimatter is exactly like matter, just opposite charge. So there had to be more matter for there to be matter left over. Of course, figuring out why this happened is part of why physics exists! Which means looking into differences b/w them + other things.

Which seems exceedingly unlikely! Im curious though: why exactly did you leave gravity out? Ive been told it doesnt really fit in the standard model, but in what sense?
Well I left it out because I do a lot of particle physics haha.. But it doesn’t fit in the standard model because it is a Quantum Field Theory.. and it happens that when we follow our usual process to quantize a theory the equations become ill defined

Ill defined in what way? Im a layman here, but are we talking about something like a division by zero?

You’re fine. Great questions. First, I don’t think I can explain it better than Carlo Rovelli on
@seanmcarroll’s podcast.. but in essence, quantizing gravity means quantizing space and time.. hence the notion of a “point” becomes ill defined, which leads to problems - 4 more replies
