i once read in some “sciency” type publication (could have been anything from a magazine to Stephen Hawking — i read a LOT more than i retain) that if ALL the matter in the universe were “added together” — all the positive/negative charges, all the matter/anti-matter, all the positrons/electrons etc etc etc…

that the end result of all that addition/subtraction is:
Zero.

I am not claiming this is a scientific fact…merely something i read many years ago that always stuck in my head…and your post made me think of it again.
