Now don't panic, it laymen's terms this just means the boffins haven't figured it out yet. So just carry on as usual 
"CERN SCIENTISTS CONCLUDE THAT THE UNIVERSE SHOULD NOT EXIST
Scientists at CERN are bemused as to why the universe exists, according to a new study.
As Cosmos Magazine reports (via The Independent), recent discoveries suggest that there's a perfect symmetry between matter and antimatter - meaning it's not clear why they didn't annihilate each other upon the birth of the universe.
CERN's latest study sought to find out whether different magnetic properties accounted for matter's seeming victory after the Big Bang, but found another point of symmetry.
Essentially, going by our findings so far, there simply shouldn't be a universe."

There's also a bit of good new.
"The electron is still round—for now
In a series of ever-more-sensitive experiments, researchers have established that if the shape of the electron has any distortion at all, the bulge must be smaller than 1 thousand trillion trillionths of a millimeter (10-27 mm)."
