The art of not being one with the universe

I hereby introduce the first draft of the introduction of my final report. It’s so vague and poetic I’m all dizzy.

The LHCb is an experiment that attempts to measure charge-parity-violation in the decay of bottom quarks. The violation of conservation of charge and parity is a phenomenon that sets matter and antimatter apart: Unlike what was first thought when antimatter was discovered, matter and antimatter are not identical except that the charge is inverted. Matter and antimatter versions of the same particle decay in ways that are subtly but crucially different.
