The Harmony in Numbers

The proportion of protons to electrons in the universe is
most important. This ratio permits the delicate balance between
the mass gravitational and electromagnetic forces. While the
universe was still less than one second old, anti-protons elimi-
nated an equal number of protons—their oppositely-charged
counterparts—, leaving behind a specific remaining number of
protons, to form the building blocks of our present-day universe.
The same thing happened between electrons and positrons (anti-

electrons). Astonishingly, the numbers of protons and electrons
remaining is the same, with only the very smallest difference be-
37
tween them: 1 in 10 .
This equality is essential for the universe’s electromagnetic
equilibrium, because any imbalance in the number of protons
and electrons would have caused same-charged particles to
repel one another into the distance. Sub-atomic particles would

not have been able to form atoms, which in turn could not have
formed stars and the matter in the universe. Galaxies, stars and
planets—including our Earth, so perfect for life—would never
have come into existence.
The total number of protons
and electrons in the uni-
verse has been calculated
with the greatest precision.
Both kinds of particles are
practically identical in num-
ber.
The equality is of crucial im-
portance to ensure the uni-
verse’s electromagnetic bal-
ance.
