摘要
Asymmetry at the level of elementary particles is both a wonder and a challenge. Current measurements of violation with respect to simultaneous space reflection and charge conjugation (CP violation) in the decay of B mesons appear to account for the excess of matter over antimatter. However, this particular decay can only be observed after a huge number of B decays. Alternative explanations of the surplus of matter, and perhaps the phenomenon of asymmetry itself, might arise from the violation of other fundamental conservation laws, which have not been considered in the Standard Model of high-energy physics and the rules by which it is constructed. Neutrinos, elusive particles which are difficult to detect, may give a valuable hint toward something new in the Standard Model.
