Beautiful as that notion seems, it gives rise to a startling paradox with truly existential ramifications. If matter and antimatter are in symmetry (as all observations seem to confirm), then theoretically our universe as we know it should not exist. Researchers at <strong>CERN<\/strong>, the <strong>European Organization for Nuclear Research<\/strong>, recently set out to determine why the universe exists despite this symmetry that should&#8217;ve resulted in instantaneous annihilation. Unfortunately, the study didn&#8217;t turn up any differences. That leaves researchers back where they started. Scientists still believe there must be some undiscovered difference between matter and antimatter that allows our universe to exist. Otherwise, what makes the miracle of our existence possible? <strong>CBS NEWS<\/strong> science and futurist contributor, <a href=\"http:\/\/mkaku.org\"><strong>Dr. Michio Kaku<\/strong><\/a>, joins <strong>CBSN<\/strong> to help us face reality. <a target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/videos\/new-findings-have-physicists-questioning-reality\/\"><strong>WATCH NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our universe, with equal parts matter and antimatter, is fundamentally symmetrical.
