The truth about the 'parallel universe' is noisy on the Internet

According to Cnet, many news sites quickly spread the news about NASA's findings, but misunderstood the nature.

In recent years, many European and American news sites have rattled about the evidence proving the existence of a parallel universe. Headlines on the newspaper suggest that an experiment in Antarctica has detected particles that break the laws of physics.

But all the articles get their information from the New Scientist article on April 8 titled 'We can detect a parallel universe where time goes back', and that is. can make readers misunderstand.

What is this experiment really about?

According to Cnet, the information is inferred based on an experiment by NASA researchers in Antarctica called ANITA . The experiment was performed using a series of radio antennae attached to a giant helium balloon that hovered over the Antarctic ice sheet at an altitude of 37,000 meters, four times the height of a commercial flight.

At such heights, the antennas are capable of detecting neutrino energy particles that constantly move through the planet. These neutrinos do not cause any threat to us and through most solid objects that we did not know - estimates suggest that 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second. Rarely do they interact with matter.

But if they collide with an atom, they will create a series of secondary particles. If we analyze secondary particles, we can find their origin from the universe. The results obtained from ANITA have demonstrated that neutrino particles plunge from space and collide with matter in the Antarctic ice sheet.

After years of research, ANITA has uncovered some unexplainable facts . Instead of high energy neutrinos coming from space, they seem to be coming from a strange position, piercing the inside of the Earth before hitting the detector. With the physics gained at the present time, scientists still cannot give an explanation.

"The event ANITA record abnormal signal has been known and discussed since 2016" - Ron Ekers, a member at CSIRO, agencies National Science Australia said - "After four years of research, we I still could not get a satisfactory explanation of the anomalous events recorded by ANITA, causing researchers great discomfort. '

Need more evidence

The publication of New Scientist on April 8 blew up speculative articles such as "NASA discovered evidence of a parallel universe in the physical, time goes backwards", or "The Scientists may have just found evidence of a parallel universe. "

Given that as a newspaper requires readers to pay, the articles that get information from the New Scientist rely mostly on the title and the opening of the article to describe the parallel universe theory without explanation. Full of thorough details behind discovery. Even in his article, New Scientist even quoted one of the scientists to admit that the parallel universe theory was not 'strictly'.

"We have noticed some anomalies in the data, and only when we try to explain by all the hypotheses inside the standard physical model and not, will we consider those hypotheses. At the moment, the consideration of standard model hypotheses is not done, so it is definitely not time to think about the parallel universe, " explained Peter Gorham, a member of the research team with ScienceAlert.

The reader has misunderstood. The ANITA experiment is very confusing in its own right. A lot of theories have been put in place but not mentioned in the quick news, such as the possibility that the Antarctic ice has caused these unusual events.

" There is no claim that this is a parallel universe discovery, " said Pat Scott, a particle physicist at the University of Queensland.

Because there is so much we don't know about neutrinos, scientists are still in the process of learning more.

"We are absolutely sure that this event will lead to new physics theories," said Clancy James, a radio astronomer at Curtin University, Australia.
