\"AntiUniverse\"<\/p>\n

A recent scientific study has proposed that the universe we live in could be a mirror image of an antimatter universe that extends backward in time, existing before the Big Bang.<\/p>\n

This is according to\u00a0scientists from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics of Canada<\/a><\/strong>, who have come up with a new cosmological model that suggests the existence of a so-called \u201canti-universe\u201d that, together with ours, retains a fundamental rule of physics called CPT symmetry<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0while its existence does make sense, researchers still need to resolve countless details in their theory, but they say it naturally explains the existence of dark matter.<\/p>\n

Hunting Dark Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n

The model explains a lot about dark matter, the \u2018still\u2019 hypothetical form of\u00a0matter<\/strong>\u00a0that is believed to account for as much as 85% of the\u00a0matter<\/strong>\u00a0in our universe, and around a quarter of its total energy density.<\/p>\n

Most\u00a0dark matter<\/strong>\u00a0is theorized\u00a0as being non-baryonic in nature, possibly made out of yet-undiscovered subatomic particles.<\/p>\n

But the new study (CPT-Symmetric Universe<\/a><\/strong>) published\u00a0in the journal Physical Review Letters<\/a><\/strong> may hold an answer to Dark Matter.<\/p>\n

The Big Bang<\/strong><\/p>\n

Standard cosmological models suggest that our universe, as well as space, time and mass\/energy \u2013 came (exploded)\u00a0 into existence more than 14 billion years ago. Since then, they have been expanding and cooling down, a chain reaction that has led to the progressive creation of subatomic particles, atoms, stars, and planets.<\/p>\n

But scientists from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics of Canada have a different\u00a0theory.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve set out to develop a model of the universe that can explain\u00a0all observable phenomena\u00a0based only on the known particles and fields.<\/p>\n

To do so, they\u2019ve asked themselves whether\u00a0there is a natural\u00a0way to extend the universe beyond the Big Bang, a singularity where general relativity breaks down and exits on the other side.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found that there was,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The answer was to assume that the universe we inhabit obeys CPT symmetry as a whole.<\/p>\n

This fundamental principle requires that any physical process remains the same if time is reversed, space is reversed and particles are replaced by antiparticles.<\/p>\n

The Universe and Antiuniverse, like day and night, like dusk and dawn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turok explains that this isn\u2019t something we observe in the universe we live in, where we believe that time progresses as space expands and that there is more matter than antimatter.<\/p>\n

Scientists\u00a0explain that instead, what respects the symmetry is the existence of a universe-antiuniverse pair.<\/p>\n

The so-called antiuniverse would stretch back in time from the\u00a0 Big Bang<\/a><\/strong>, getting bigger as it does so,\u00a0and would be dominated by antimatter, as well as inverted spatial properties compared to our cosmos.<\/p>\n

The study published in the Journal Physical Review of Letters<\/em><\/strong>, suggests that inside the Antiuniverse, and before the big bang, time ran backward and the cosmos was filled with antimatter instead of matter.<\/p>\n

The compelling theory tells us that the universe is actually replete with \u2018very massive sterile neutrinos\u2019 which in turn could help us explain the existence of dark matter, the strange \u2018substance\u2019 that is\u00a0believed to make up much of the universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
