SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of a mirror universe, positing that for every quantum fluctuation in our universe, there exists an equal and opposite fluctuation in a mirror universe. This symmetry suggests that real particles could be paired in a two-sided quantum field, similar to virtual particles. The conversation raises questions about the functionality of the left-handed weak force in both universes and whether any known physics would prohibit such a state. Ultimately, the discussion concludes with skepticism regarding personal theories, emphasizing the need for scientific discourse.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum theory and fluctuations
  • Familiarity with the concept of symmetry in physics
  • Knowledge of the weak force and its properties
  • Awareness of multiverse theories in contemporary physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of quantum fluctuations in mirror universes
  • Explore the properties of the left-handed weak force in particle physics
  • Investigate existing theories on antimatter and its relationship to mirror universes
  • Study the scientific community's stance on multiverse theories and their critiques
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and anyone interested in advanced theoretical physics, particularly those exploring the concepts of mirror universes and quantum mechanics.

TL;DR
Why not a duplicate, mirror-image anti-matter universe?
After countless google searches, I decided to ask the experts. The multiverse idea seems to be popular among physicists, but the idea of a mirror universe seems much more plausible. Like quantum theory, it’s symmetrical. For every quantum fluctuation in our universe, there would be an equal and “opposite” fluctuation in a mirror universe, down to the last neutrino. Imagine a two-sided quantum field. Virtual particles always appear in pairs, why wouldn’t real particle also be paired? Wouldn’t the left-handed weak force still function in both universes, but in mirror-image form? Is there any known physics that would prohibit such a state? Assuming that the particles in the mirror universe aren’t the bearded, evil twins of our own (the Roddenberry hypothesis).

Assuming that the particles in the mirror universe aren’t the bearded, evil twins of our own (the Roddenberry hypothesis).
So, at this moment, has some anti-universe poster written "Assuming the particles in the mirror universe aren't the clean-shaven, evil twins of our own ?"

:welcome:

It will be interesting to see what an "expert" makes of your question!
 
I'm afraid we do not discuss personal theories on PF. The more as there isn't the least chance to discuss it scientifically.
