Attempt to hunt down the 'symmetrical universe'

American scientists are preparing to develop a series of experiments to find clues about the existence of an invisible form of material that can be unlocked to a parallel world.

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee (USA), home to America's most powerful supercomputers, physicist Leah Broussard will do what she calls a direct test to attack the hole. of standard physical models, according to NBC.

Simply put, in the upcoming experiment, experts will use neutron beams to bombard particles located on an impenetrable wall. If these particles appear on the other side of the wall, the researchers think this is evidence of symmetrical matter , thought to always exist in our visible world but have never been observed. In other words, the American team wants to do experiments to determine whether matter can 'get into' the universe that exists in parallel with this world.

NBC said the hypothesis about the existence of the symmetrical world began to be seriously considered and tested in the 1990s, when scientists witnessed a phenomenon so far without explanation. related to the process of radioactive decay from neutrons into protons. The researchers found that neutrons made of particle beams existed an average of 14 minutes 48 seconds before decaying into protons, while neutrons collected in bottles only remained for less than 10 seconds. According to the current physical models, every neutron would probably have the same decay cycle, but it would not be that big.

To explain this difference, scientists from the Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics - Anatoli Serebrov (Russia) hypothesize that neutrons produced from beams can pass through the 'mirror world' and deflect. calculation results of researchers . The same experiment was carried out in Sweden. Accordingly, they use magnetic fields to cover neutrons, which are thought to speed up the material metabolism, to see if these particles disappear or not. Swedish experts have completed the experiment and the data will be continuously analyzed within a few months.

The existence of the symmetrical world is also thought to help discover the mystery of so-called dark matter . According to some scientists, dark matter accounts for 85% of the cosmic mass, although humans have never observed it. Researchers believe that if the cosmic hypothesis is proven, it could be where dark matter lurks for a long time. Symmetrical matter, thought to function similar to dark matter, can connect galaxies together or affect the speed of stars and planets in a galaxy.
