Scientists propose that dark matter might exist in a hidden mirror universe or have been created at the universe's edge after the Big Bang, offering new theories for its elusive nature and potential origins, though these ideas remain speculative.
The article explores how the concept of mirror images, or chirality, influences various aspects of the universe, from molecules like sugars in our bodies to fundamental particles, highlighting differences between our universe and its mirror counterpart, and discussing implications for understanding the origins of life and particle physics.
A new paper suggests that dark matter may exist in a deformed mirror universe where atoms failed to form, explaining its undetectable nature and lack of clumping. The theory builds off the observation that there's a comparable amount of regular and dark matter, and that neutrons and protons have almost precisely the same mass in our universe. While the paper is not yet peer reviewed, it has an impressive author list and adds to the myriad of theories attempting to unravel the mysteries of dark matter.
