So this could be matter, if it's matter at all, that interacts even less with less strength than a neutrino would.

So some law of physics that we take as canon was broken or violated in the early universe.

If matter always comes in matter-antimatter pairs, and we won that contest as this excess froth.

Right.

So you just declare that some rule got broken in the early universe?

So you can imagine-

that matter and antimatter were strictly equal all the way down and still have a functioning universe?

Maybe not with stuff in it, but would it be its own space, its own place?

And could you have a universe that has just dark matter and dark energy in it and no regular matter?

So from what I've read, and I have a cursory understanding of this, I have like an evening news account of this.

At different times from the early universe to today...

Matter, gravity, dark matter, dark energy, all have different ways or different strengths of their capacity to manifest.

Okay.

So who's dominating today?

So we're diluting our gravity and not diluting the dark energy.

Okay, so you compare the two, the dark energy systematically wins out.

So dark energy...

feeds off the vacuum of an expanding universe.

You know, weirdly, that reminds me of the Weeping Angels episode of Doctor Who, where Weeping Angels, they feed off of your life energy.

And you disappear out of your time, and you show up in the past.
