Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of a mirror universe, particularly in relation to the multiverse theory and quantum symmetry. Participants explore the implications of a mirror universe on quantum fluctuations and the nature of particles, including the potential for a mirror-image anti-matter universe.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that a mirror universe could reflect quantum fluctuations, proposing that for every fluctuation in our universe, there would be an equal and opposite fluctuation in a mirror universe.
  • There is a hypothesis that real particles could be paired in a manner similar to virtual particles, raising questions about the nature of forces like the weak force in such a universe.
  • Another participant humorously questions the characterization of particles in the mirror universe, referencing the "Roddenberry hypothesis" regarding their nature.
  • A later reply indicates a concern about discussing personal theories within the forum, suggesting a limitation on the scope of the discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion remains unresolved, with multiple competing views on the plausibility and implications of a mirror universe and its relationship to existing theories.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty regarding the scientific basis for their ideas, and there is a noted limitation on discussing personal theories within the forum.

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.
