(WHDH) Scientists at NASA have reportedly uncovered evidence of a bizarre parallel universe where the rules of physics and time appear to be operating in reverse.
Researchers conducting an experiment in Antarctica discovered particles from a universe that was born during the same Big Bang the created the one we live in, according to NewScientist.
A NASA team was using a giant balloon to carry electronic antennas into the sky above the frozen wastes of Antarctica when they encountered a wind of particles from outer space that were a million times more powerful than anything they had seen before, the news outlet reported.
Low-energy particles have the ability to pass through Earth without any interaction, but higher-energy particles are stopped by the solid matter of Earth, the report stated.
High-energy particles are only detected if they are coming down from Earth, but NASAs Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna detected the particles traveling up.
The findings suggest that the particles were traveling backward in time from a parallel universe, the experiments lead investigator, Peter Gorham, said in an interview with the University of Hawaii News.
Otherwise, the particles would have had to change form before passing through Earth and back again, something that Gorham described as an impossible event.
Gorham explained that the Big Bang, which happened nearly 14 billion years ago, likely resulted in the formation of two universes the one that the people of Earth live in and another where everything operates in reverse.

I wonder what the red shift on such particles would be, if there would be such a thing. Would the red shift be negative or what?
And if the particles detected from the other universe are a million times more powerful than seen before, why are these particles more powerful than those in our universe, if both universes were born at the same time? The rules of entropy may not work the same IMHO, perhaps?
I hope more comes out on this interesting discovery.

(28,889 posts)The evidence for that parallel universe is not there.
It's just one of many theories, many of which are
more plausible, to explain the anomolous particle.

...As Gorham, who is the principal investigator of ANITA, told ScienceAlert, "we have encountered a small number of anomalies in our data, and once we have exhausted all of the possible explanations within the Standard Model of physics, only then is it time to consider other ideas that push those boundaries - we are really not there yet, certainly not at the point where parallel universes are necessary!"
..."In this case, one or more journalists have evidently moved ahead with an article which was not verified, and for reasons which are not clear, have ascribed research and papers to us which we never wrote, and theories, such as those involving parallel universes, which neither we nor our collaborators hypothesised about or discussed in any publication before these results were attributed to our experiment," says Gorham.
"This is one of the reasons that scientific advances proceed by a more measured process, through peer review and verification by other investigators."

Gotta run; there's a black hole beeping at me.
