What does antimatter sound like?

The sound of Antimatter vibrato is based on the oscillation between quark and antiquark of the B-Messon at 300 million million times per second recorded by CERN's LHCb experiment. The B-Messon may hold some of the keys to the fundamental asymmetry of the universe between matter and antimatter.

When a large amount of energy (speakers) is imprinted in space/time (water), as in the Big Bang, matter emerges in matter/antimatter pairs (e.g. electron/positron), identical to each other but with opposite charge, so that when they come into contact they annihilate by returning to the energy state in the form of photons.

This CP symmetry (C charge - P parity) was violated at 0.01 nanoseconds after the Big Bang, so the totality of matter was not annihilated with antimatter and our universe could evolve.
