B_S CP violation
The twist comes from odd behavior in a particle called the BS, which flips back and forth between its matter and antimatter forms three trillions times per second. Researchers believe that such a breakdown, known as CP violation, is required to explain why matter is so abundant. Is Feynman laughing, or crying?

Well, having seen the way statistics caused endless headaches for the particle physics group at Rice, in their search for quarks, in the early 90s, let's just say that this is putting an awful lot of weight of a statistical technique which, unless repeated a goodly number of times with continued success, ain't worth the shingle the shit goes on.
