Permanent Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) of fundamental particles violate
both time invariance and parity. Assuming the CPT theorem, this implies
CP violation. The CP violation of the Standard Model is
orders of magnitude too small to be observed experimentally
in EDMs in the foreseeable future. It is also way too small
to explain the asymmetry in abundance of matter and...

The standard model of particle physics predicts that the permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron is very nearly zero. A non-zero value would violate time reversal symmetry. Many extensions to the standard model predict an electron EDM just below current experimental limits, thus there is great interest in new experiments and in improving current experimental precision.
