        This is exactly the dilemma astronomers have faced for last 40 years, as they’ve tried to determine the building blocks of the universe.
        Matter and anti matter is the simplest answer.
        But solving this mystery remains one of science’s highest priorities. Until that solution comes, we must live with an idea that the house we’ve been trying to weigh for years is heavier than we expected and, more troubling, beyond our understanding and imaginations.
