What is the reason behind the predominance of matter over antimatter in our universe? At the point of the widely accepted Big Bang theory, the building blocks of our universe — matter and its identical twin of opposite charge - antimatter were created. The fact that our cosmos consists entirely of matter is a mystery that bemuses the scientific community. Since particles are formed in matter-antimatter pairs, there should be an equal amount of both opposites in existence. What caused this asymmetry?
A parallel universe of antimatter.
It is known that matter and antimatter appear in pairs. Since our universe consists entirely of matter, there is a puzzle as to what happened to the rest of the antimatter material. The answer is this: it is in a parallel universe. The imbalance of matter over antimatter in our universe occurred as a result of the Big Bang splitting into two parallel dimensions rather than forming just one realm. The newly formed particles at the point of the Big Bang explosion were dispersed into two collateral coexistences. Thereafter followed a phase of elimination, where matter and antimatter were cancelling each other out on either side of the newly split physical reality. Leftovers formed our universe with its initial excess of matter over antimatter and an antimatter-predominated universe on the other side of the newly split entity. As a result, we ended up in a universe consisting entirely of matter, counterbalanced by an equal amount of antimatter in a parallel reality.

The 'reflective' nature of the antimatter universe.
A pair of matter and antimatter is assumed to be entangled at the point of their formation. Therefore, ending up on different sides of the parallel reality, these paired particles mirror each other, thus creating two mutually reflective universes.
Prove of the ‘mirror’ nature of the parallel universe through a thought experiment.
To see a parallel universe symmetry, let us take a look at a black hole. A black hole is said to possess so much gravity that even light cannot escape its pull. Here is a question: "If a photon of light is massless (and therefore gravity should not affect it in any way), why is it not escaping a black hole?" Here is the answer:
Gravity affects the space which surrounds a photon, but not the particle itself per se. The space beyond the event horizon stretches faster than the speed of light. The light in a black hole simply cannot outpace the rate of space expansion within it. The event horizon is the boundary beyond which the speed of space stretching (and moving objects within it) exceeds the speed of light. Physicists state that the flow of time reverses at a speed surpassing the speed of light. It stands to reason that time inside a black hole goes backward. A physical entity that falls into a black hole will, therefore, retrace (in accordance with reversed time) the steps it had gone through prior to its fall into the event horizon. However, if we were to observe a black hole from the inside, we would see that objects within it move alongside its reversed path of time. That is from its centre in the direction of the event horizon at a speed slower than the speed of light. It would be a "reflective" motion symmetrical to our side of the universe.
Matter-Antimatter.
Once matter reaches the event horizon, it falls into the black hole faster than light, reversing the black hole's time continuum (and, along with it, we can speculate, - inverting its polarity. That is matter becomes antimatter). Since time inside black hole clocks in the opposite direction, the ‘antimattered’ substance of the black hole flows from its centre to the direction of the event horizon, where it runs into our dimension and, being of opposite charge eliminates matter of our universe. The time-reversing behaviour of black holes displays the symmetry of the parallel reality, in which the event horizon is a conjunction of two entangled universes.
matter falls into a black hole, whereafter flows against time into a singularity | matter and antimatter are moving along time, and merging at the event horizon |

2D projection
The projection of the described above parallel realities into 2D could be represented as a universe consisting of matter located on top of a sheet, and an antimatter parallel universe on the bottom side, safeguarded from interacting with each other by the layer of the sheet. These two dimensions run parallel to each other on opposite sides of the given sheet.
When matter in the universe convenes together to a critical mass under the force of gravity, such as a massive star collapsing into a black hole, it pierces through the safeguard layer of the sheet which separates two parallel dimensions, bringing the top and lower layers together at the place of rupture. At the point where the separated layers of two parallel universes have been connected, the matter of the upper and antimatter of the lower surfaces annihilate each other through the emerged opening. The result of the puncture is a void, which we call a black hole, surrounded by the edge of the space-time fabric, which we see as an event horizon.
Added depth to the above 2D model:
Summary: The imbalance of matter over antimatter in our universe is the result of the Big Bang bursting into two parallel dimensions rather than one. After balancing itself out (where matter and antimatter eliminate each other) we ended in a world consisting of matter, counterbalanced by an antimatter-dominated parallel universe. Since a pair of matter and antimatter are entangled at the point of formation, those opposing particles that ended up on different sides of the split reality mirror each other, creating, thus, two symmetrical universes.
Dimension of scale.
Scientists were surprised to discover that a pair of matter and antimatter would appear from nowhere, and after a period of time eliminate each other. Is it a coincidence that the presented behaviour of the universe acts in the same manner as particles of matter and antimatter? Here are graphical representations of the similar lifespans of a matter particle and a universe.

Popped up in space matter and antimatter particles move through time, eliminating each other on a collision | Big Bang split into matter and antimatter universes moving through time, merging at the event horizon |
Bellow is an alternative view, where matter and antimatter are not eliminating each other but rather matter is turning back in time. Note: It is generally accepted that matter that collapses into a black hole falls into a singularity at its centre.

Matter at some point is turning around and going back in time | Matter of the universe collapses into a black hole, whereafter falling (against time) into singularity |
