sorta TRP: Cosmic indecision..a kind of anti-binary reductionism, ala TRP is anti-entropic and may have created the universe!, so to speak...

[Ian Livingston]

I'm still trying to warp my meddling mind around this. I am fascinated
by physics, but pretty much all of it is beyond my capacity to grok,
really. Oscillating in the trillions makes me woozy even before you
add the "per second" part. Doesn't that violate some sort of cosmic
speed limit? And what about the states between matter and anti-matter?
Is there some possibility of actual binaries without middles? Or are
these B-mesons more matter than antimatter 1% of the time more than
they are more antimatter than matter? Of course, at those speeds, what
difference, eh? I wonder if they have any sort of phenomenological
experience of time. Wouldn't that be something! Dig vibing at a
trillion rattles per second..... There were a couple of moments when
the alkaloids were just right, I might have been able trip on it in
some way that would make sense, at least to me. But this is pretty out
there. A whole new way of talking about shunyata and samsara, for
those who are into trying to reconcile belief and theory.

They oscillate back and forth trillions of times a second between their regular state and their antimatter state. As it happens, the mesons, created in the proton-antiproton collisions, seem to go from their antimatter state to their matter state more rapidly than they go the other way around, leading to an eventual preponderance of matter over antimatter of about 1 percent, when they decay to muons.
