Sakharov conditions
The Sakharov conditions are three theoretical criteria proposed by physicist Andrei Sakharov in 1967 to explain the observed imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe. These conditions suggest that for baryogenesis, the process that creates matter, there must be a violation of baryon number conservation, a departure from thermal equilibrium, and the presence of CPT symmetry violation.
These conditions imply that certain processes in the early universe could have led to the dominance of matter over antimatter. Understanding the Sakharov conditions is crucial for physicists studying the origins of the universe and the fundamental laws governing particle physics.
