I’ve always wondered about this, perhaps someone who understands this subject could explain.

Say matter and antimatter were created in roughly equal proportions then some collided to create energy. Couldn’t then this energy coalesce back to regular matter through the mass-energy equivalence? E=mc^2? Repeat this a bit and you’d end up with more matter than antimatter.

As I said, this is so simple there must be an easy argument against it but I’ve never heard the idea addressed.
