I read the quotes from the article you posted 3 times and I still have absolutely no idea what the hell they mean LOL

OK, here's my 2c worth in explanation:
In an ideal theoretical universe there'd be as much antimatter as there is matter. There isn't, there's far more matter here, and this idea of
Supersymmetry is broken in the universe we observe.
There appears to be approximately five times the supersymmetry breaking energy in this universe than would be expected (which explains why we see more
matter than antimatter).
It is theorized that this is because the primeval energies which gave rise to matter in this universe was split between other universes, which have
their own preferential "flavour" of matter, at a time when all the universes touched each other at the singularity (the universe/multiverse before the
When the Big Bang did occur, multiple universes were nucleated (like bubbles being formed) and began expansion from a single point. Initially, there
was overlap, but eventually the outer boundary of each bubble (its horizon), detached, taking its bit of reality with it.
For universes where the symmetry breaking energy was high (like ours) these universes would expand. For universes where the symmetry breaking energy
was low, the matter and antimatter would annihilate causing the bubble universe to become non-viable and cease to exist (not enough energy to sustain
its space-time horizon).
It was then theorized that closely adjacent universes might have "stolen" the symmetry breaking energy from each other and this would have left areas
of low symmetry breaking energy where they "touched" at, or just after the singularity. The effect you'd see in each universe would be areas of
relatively empty space (little matter) and a corresponding flow of dark energy, which would be frozen in place by the expansion of each of the
These "empty" areas would most likely be located at the top or "North" of the universe and the bottom, or "South" of the universe. and would also be
aligned to the overall polarization of the "dark flow" (the entertainingly nicknamed "axis of evil"). This North & South does not refer to the Earth's
North or South.
I am not sure I fully understand all the theory and math and this is really a cruddy explanation outside the papers of Laura & Co, so take it with a
grain of salt. It's just an analogy.
