Scientists Say There May Be a Mirror Universe in Which Time Runs Backwards

Do you think Daylight Savings Time is bad? At least you don't live in a place where time runs backwards.

A recently published paper by an international team of theoretical physicists is lending credibility to the idea of an anti-universe theory.

The theory behind the study is set to be published in the journal Annals of Physics. The Standard Model of Particle Physics states that charge, parity, and time are related to interactions.

The existence of a mirror universe that is the exact opposite of ours would be filled with oppositely charged and mirrored particles that are going backwards in time, according to the scientists.

The dark matter is invisible to us, yet it makes up 95 percent of our Universe.

In this anti-universe, dark matter would be made up of a new type of neutrino, the extremely high-energy and low-density particles that carry neither a positive nor negative charge.

According to Live Science, there are three types of neutrinos that spin to the left, while all other particles have either left or right-handed variations.

Scientists have said in the past that we can't detect right-handed neutrinos.

The researchers say that these right-handed neutrinos would likely be invisible but would still have an impact on the rest of the universe.

Physicists argue that dark matter only interacts with the rest of the universe via gravity, which is why we can't see it.

The paper explains that symmetry would necessitate right-handed neutrinos in as much of an abundance as their left-handed counterparts, which would in turn be enough to account for dark matter.

We don't know what dark matter is. It may be as shocking as the discovery of a flipped universe.

Our universe may have a twin that runs back in time.

NASA has a proposal to investigate the mysteries of dark matter.
