Cosmic knots may finally explain why the Universe exists

SMRTR summary

Japanese physicists propose that knotted structures formed in the early universe could explain why matter dominates over antimatter, solving a fundamental mystery about our existence. Their model combines two particle physics symmetries to create stable "cosmic knots" that briefly dominated the universe before collapsing through quantum tunneling, producing heavy neutrinos that decayed with a slight preference for matter over antimatter, ultimately creating today's matter-filled cosmos.
