Similar problems found in the present-day universe are also discussed. Arguments are presented in support of an inverted galaxy-formation mechanism according to which a primordial black hole arises first and then gives rise to galaxy formation. The question of dark matter consisting of primordial black holes is discussed. Data on the detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA interferometers are examined, and it is shown that primordial black holes are the most probable sources of the observed gravitational waves. The existence of antimatter in the Milky Way Galaxy is discussed in detail, and the mechanisms of its formation and new methods for its observation are described.
