The Mishra Quantum Preference Hypothesis
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The absolute dominance of baryonic matter over antimatter in the observable universe remains one of the most significantunresolved paradoxes in modern physics. Standard cosmological models dictate a strict thermodynamic parity (1:1 ratio) atthe onset of the Big Bang, a condition that inevitably leads to total mutual annihilation and a resultant radiation-only universe.The Mishra Quantum Preference Hypothesis introduces a novel conceptual framework to address this imbalance. Ratherthan attributing the symmetry-breaking mechanism to intrinsic decay variations within the particle fields themselves, thishypothesis localizes the catalyst within the structural geometry of the spacetime metric. It is proposed that during cosmicinflation, the exponential expansion velocity induced a transient phase transition in the quantum vacuum baseline—termedthe "Quantum Preference Phase." Mediated by a fundamental coupling parameter designated as the Mishra Constant(&mathcal;C_M), this temporary geometric curvature gradient acted as an environmental catalyst, marginally elevating thestability and survival probability of regular matter over antimatter prior to the decoupling era, ultimately yielding the precisebaryon density observed in the modern cosmos.
