As reported in the April 27, 2009 NewScientist article “Where is all the antimatter?” one of the more perplexing unanswered questions in modern astrophysics is “Why is there more matter than anti-matter?”.

The Big Bang theory suggests that matter and antimatter should have been produced in equal quantities.  Since collisions between matter and antimatter result in their mutual annihilation there should not be any ordinary matter, and its antimatter equivalent left in the universe.  However, it is obvious this did not happen because no galaxies or intergalactic clouds of antimatter have yet been detected that have the ability to offset the observed quantity of matter in the universe.  Therefore, it looks as if matter won out over antimatter.
However the mystery of why is there more matter that anti-matter in the universe can be understood in terms of the classical laws of physics if one views the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time.

In the article “Defining energy“  Nov. 27, 2007 it was shown the quantity of energy/mass in a system can be derived in terms of a displacement in a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension and the magnitude of that displacement defines its quantity.

This displacement is analogous to the space-time curvature that Einstein postulated is responsible for the energy/mass content in a volume.

However, even though they are based on different geometries they make, as has and will be shown in The Road to Unification identical predictions regarding the relativistic properties of space and time and the equivalence between gravitational and accelerated reference frames.

This would enable one to derive the properties of matter and  antimatter in terms of a bidirectional displacement in a “surface” of a three dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension because observation of a Classical three-dimensional environment tell that one can move spatially in two directions upwards of downward or backwards and forwards. 

As mentioned earlier this would also give one the ability to understand why there is more matter than antimatter terms of the laws of classical physics.

For example observations of the potential energy of an orbiting satellite tell us that it is oppositely directed with respect to the gravitational energy of the planet it is orbiting.

This asymmetry between gravitational and the kinetic potential of energy/mass in systems suggests that one can define it as was done in the article “Defining energy” in terms of oppositely directed displacements in geometry of space.  In other words if one defines gravity in terms of a “depression” in a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension one should define potential energy in terms of an “elevation” in that “surface”.

However, using this same logic one could define the asymmetry between energy/mass in a matter / antimatter system as being the result of oppositely directed displacements in a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.  In other words one could define the energy/mass associated with the particle component of  matter in terms of a “depression” in a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension while define the energy/mass of an anti particle in terms of a “elevation” in that “surface”.

As mentioned earlier, one can derive the quantity of energy/mass in a system in terms of the magnitude of a displacement in a “surface” of a three- dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.  Therefore, the total energy of a particle / anti-particle system would be equal to the sum of their relative displacements.

This means that one can understand why particle antiparticle annihilation occurs in terms of the “upward” directed displacement in a “surface” of a three-dimensional space manifold associated with an antiparticle “filling in” the equal but oppositely directed “downward” displacement associated with a particle while defining the energy released when they do so in terms of the sum of their oppositely directed displacements.

However, this also provides an explanation of the why there is more matter than antimatter in there universe because the level of the “surface” of a three-dimensional space associated with a particle will be elevated above its equilibrium point it had before its creation similar to how the surface of all the water in a bucket is elevated when an object placed in it.

In the current universe when a particle meets its antiparticle this level returns to it equilibrium point it had before their creation resulting in the complete annihilation of all of their mass. 

However this was not the case in early universe when it was expanding faster than the speed of light because the displacement associated with that equilibrium would be receding from event that created it faster than the speed of light.  Therefore because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light those displacements and the mass associated with them could not be annihilated by the events that created them.

In other words because the universe was expanding faster that the speed of light, the equilibrium between matter and antimatter in the universe would be shifted towards its matter component.

This explains why the Big Bang produced more matter than antimatter.

It should be remember that Einstein’s genius and the symmetry of his mathematics allows us to choose whether to define reality in either a space-time environment or one consisting of four *spatial* dimension
