The discussion centers on the concept of a mirror universe, which some participants find more plausible than the broader multiverse theory. It suggests that for every quantum fluctuation in our universe, there would be a corresponding fluctuation in a mirror universe, maintaining symmetry. The idea posits that virtual particles appear in pairs, leading to speculation about real particles being paired similarly. Questions arise about the functionality of forces, like the left-handed weak force, in this mirror-image universe. The thread concludes with a reminder that personal theories are not the focus of scientific discussions.

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.

Thread closed.
 

Thread 'The "electroweak eta meson"'

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
