New findings have physicists questioning reality

Okay, I promised an answer on this and now here it is, just remember you heard it here first.

Remember there was that cloud of electrons that obscured everything after the big bang? It was known as the "dark period or age or something", well,  when the negatrons formed they annihilated each other, but some protons captured electrons and became neutrons.  So, while matter and anti-matter were annihilating each other, the neutrons, with no charge, continued to survive and accumulate.  When the Universe had cooled enough, these neutrons then became unstable and emitted an electron and presto, matter and no antimatter.  Tell this to any physicist and most will not argue, they'll simply be astounded that they didn't think of it first.  Those who do argue against it will lose to their peers.

Ah, there's a simpler way to say all of this:

Matter and Anti-matter formed at the same time as neutrons were also forming.

While matter and anti-matter were annihilating each other, because of their opposite electrical charges (opposites attract) neutrons, on the other hand, do not get involved with this so they accumulate.  After the universe finally finished there were all these neutrons leftover and they, as they do even today, decayed by emitting an electron, thus making hydrogen.  Of course, neutrons are very sticky when it comes to contacting protons so you get deuterium, tritium (one and two neutrons sticking to a proton), and that gives rise to helium when the third neutron decays leaving two protons and two neutrons.

Why neutrons always emit electrons rather than positrons is a question that will have to be left to the quantum mechanics researchers.
Have a very nice day.
