When matter and anti-matter come in contact, they transform into energy.
So if the universe were compose of an equal amount of matter and anti
matter, and if we brought all of that together, we'd end up with a large
amount of energy. Assuming there is no such thing as "anti-energy", this
doesn't result in a zero sum.

I hadn't considered this before, so I'm not sure how (or if) the big
bang theory addresses the issue of a non-zero sum. Guess I have another item
to add to my wend-research checklist.
