@oristarA,
Quote:And, should " of particles of antiparticles" be " of particles and antiparticles"?
Yes, it seems so. Must be an editing failure there.
With respect to the question in the title:
(1)"almost equal amounts of particles of antiparticles" (i.e., almost, but not quite equal)
(2)"except for a tiny asymmetry:"--just repeating what was said in (1) with different wording
So, then, the question is "how close to equal?" and/or "how tiny was the asymmetry?"
Answer: One particle per 10 billion
This is perhaps a little ambiguous, but it's a big-ass number, either way.
Unlike Raprap, I would read it that for every 1o billion anti-particles there were 10 billion + 1 particles.
It certainly does not mean this: "one particle among 10 billion antiparticles," as suggested in your title.
In this context, "per" intends a ratio. You might read it as "for each ____"
Here the blank would be filled in with "10 billion"
Per cent (percent) is an abbreviation for "per 100"
