Just came across this report by Science Magazine about research findings at JILA concerning the measurement of the electric dipole moment.

This may explain the matter and antimatter imbalance, they mention.

What is the strongest evidence for explaining this imbalance? In a recent Youtube video I made, I mentioned that we still don't have an explanation for this imbalance in the early Universe. Was I wrong?

If they find a non-zero value, it might be a hint where to search further.
They didn't find that and they didn't even make the world's most precise measurement yet.

That is correct. There are some hypotheses, but it is unclear which one (if any) is right.

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
