    For a time when I was a kid they said there was an equal ratio of matter/anti-matter.

    This seemed weird to me even then because I thought we would witness more annihilations. (I always just figured it was counter-intuitive like so much of advanced physics.)

    Now I am glad to see my childhood logic and skepticism was correct.

    I also hereby refuse to stoop to the level of quipping that ANY of the particles are "turning Japanese."
