Is it possible that the massive amounts of antimatter are so far away we have no way of knowing they're there or is there some kind of proof for the dominence of matter? I know they haven't found any "power flux" of gamma rays where the atoms and their anti-components are colliding with the probes they send up but how far are they accurate to? Has the whole theory just basically slipped to a treasure chest for sci-fi writers?

To add to my question, is this the right place to ask this question?

Matter and antimatter would have the same origin in space-time; that of the Big Bang. They would be all together at one place in the beginning. Because of this they would tend to annihilate each other and become light (energy.) at this time.
Since the universe has a beginning everything would be together at one place so matter and antimatter really couldn't separate out into another universe nor could it become another side of this universe. There is no physical process that would allow such a separation.
Therefore antimatter in the universe has truly been ruled out.

no Antimatter has not been entirely ruled out. Read Stephen Hawking's A Bried History of Time he describes it thoroughly.

Anti universe is not a fact.
It is a fiction
