Matter exists because there was an asymmetry between matter and anti-matter particles...
But I just don't get why it HAS to be that there was an asymmetry, rather than just pure chance that not all of them found their pair before inflation shot everything away.
Is it that obvious that if there were equal amounts they would have had to find their pairs? I always wondered why it's so obvious to scientists that there had to be an asymmetry in the first place rather than pure chance making it so some particles wouldn't find their pair, specially since inflation is so hilariously violent and it happened so fast. Plus, there were random fluctuations that we can see in the MBR. I'm pretty sure I just don't understand it properly because it seems weird that everybody is so sure about it.
