I shall report on some work done in France in the last few years concerning the possible existence of antimatter in the Universe. It will be shown that, by taking due account of several physical effects which have been theoretically predicted, one can propose a coherent theory for the origin of matter and galaxies that appears to be quantitatively satisfactory. In this model there should exist as many antigalaxies as galaxies. During the course of this paper, I shall try to make it clear what the basic physical processes are and the present state of their investigation. This discussion will therefore be restricted to the two aforementioned problems, viz., the origin of matter and protogalaxies, leaving aside other astrophysical applications.
