SUMMARY
CP violation, or Charge Parity violation, is a phenomenon in particle physics that explains the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe. It is suggested that CP violation could account for the excess matter remaining after the Big Bang. The discussion clarifies that the correct terminology is "CP violation," not "CP variation," and directs readers to further information available on the Wikipedia page about CP-symmetry.
