It's pure speculation, but I am suggesting that instead of some sort of annihilation imbalance, the mechanism might be a sorting process that causes antimatter and matter to collect into horizon-shaped pockets.
If there were such a sorting process that was inherently linked to cosmological horizons, it could explain both where the antimatter went, and why we don't see an annihilation zone where the boundaries meet.
- platz 9y agoUnfortunately one can use the anthropic principle to say anything about science beyond the horizon, since anything beyond the horizon is unobservable
- Retric 9y agoThe problem is your sorting process is identical to your original statement. It's like saying "why is the sky blue" > "air is blue". You need to make predictions that are different from your observations. On the other hand if you say something like "Air becomes blue when it's colder." Then you can actually test what's going on and falsify the statement which may lead to progress. Suppose you suggest the output of this experiment will change over time. Now, waiting a billion years is not going to happen but adding even more digits of accuracy may be possible.
