There is an old weird theory that an antiparticle is actually a particle going back in time; when a pair is born "out of nowhere", it's in fact one particle making a U-turn in time.
Now, consider the expanding Universe. Let's say you are observing a nearby spinning galaxy drifting away from you because of the expansion. Most part of the matter moves away, while some part of the matter due to spinning moves towards you. This holds true even if you take only one dimension out of the 3.
Because time is just another dimension, let's assume most of the matter is moving in one direction, just like matter in 3D space, and only some part of it due to local spinning effects or whatever else, can sometimes move backwards. That's antimatter and this is why it's scarce. So the Universe is expanding in all 4 dimensions, and antimatter may be a good proof of that.
(I have no idea if this makes any sense at all, but it came a few days ago when I was about to fall asleep, actually half-dreaming already, when suddenly this idea broke into my head. It happens.)
