Our galaxy's rotation is twisting space and time. When a particle decays, some of the products may be skewed by that rotation. Some matter and anti-matter particles are observed following different decay tracks when theory predicted the tracks would be the same. ("Charge Parity Violation") A test can be done to see if decay is symmetrical after all, once you correct for the galaxy spin.
This is a big story,
being reported in Science Daily News. I grasp a bit of it but someone educated will have to explain it. The data is expensive to come by but the breakthrough in understanding calls for thinkology and a love of math, not a pile of bucks.
