From Hadley's paper …

… it is predicted that the anisotropy in space time is responsible for the observed CP violation.


For terrestrial experiments the effect could be manifested as an anisotropy in measured CP violation because the gravitational CP violating term distinguishes the direction of galactic rotation.

If the prediction is confirmed then Nature can be considered to be symmetric under time reversal and space inversion.

CP violation is seen as the key to explaining the matter asymmetry in the Universe, but the measured CP violation is inadequate to explain the Universe that we see today (see [4] and references therein).

The proposed mechanism for CP violation in this paper, has considerable implications for observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe. On the one hand it provides for a much stronger CP violation near massive spinning sources, but fails to give universal CP violation.

PS: The point being CP violation tests have an inbuilt asymmetry caused by the known gravitational potential of spinning masses. The Galaxy is the source with the largest effect. Extrapolating to the larger picture of the universe's view of CP violation, would still come down to other observations/theoretical arguments, I believe. (A bit of a stretch, but still, a plausible hypothesis, I guess).
