Do you remember the moral science lesson that wanted us to realize that there is a balance in life that must be maintained? Well, scientists use more or less the same theory to propose a hypothesis that hasn’t been touched on until now. The hypothesis is that of a universe that could be functional like us, but be the true opposite of ours. You heard it right? The idea of a mirror universe has been proposed by these scientists and it is very interesting based on the determination they claim to have taken to arrive at a conclusion that could only be imagined until now. Read below to learn all about the claims and to understand for yourself whether the possibility of a mirror universe could exist at all.
What were the three entities scientists used to support their hypothesis?
In a research paper published by Arxiv.org, a team of researchers focused on three significant symmetries we encounter in our nature. These three entities were charge, parity and time. Where charge implies that if a person reverses the charge of a particle applied in interaction with its opposite, he/she will receive the same interaction.
Parity means that if a person looks at the mirror image of an interaction, he/she will see identical results through the reflection. Finally, time means that sending an interaction back in time will produce the same results. This fundamental idea can be considered as CPT symmetry.
How did they come to a conclusion with such a large claim?
While there may be some violations that could be involved in this process, scientists have noted that they have never encountered such an interaction that bypasses these three symmetries at the same time. They went on to explain that not only can these symmetries apply to the universe, but also to the entire cosmos.
They combined this theory and the basic idea of ”balance” to defend their hypothesis and add that a mirror universe could exist where time also runs backwards. While the scientists say it’s nearly impossible to reach the mirror universe, more research could be done to glorify the hypothesis.
