Fountain of high-energy particles detected in Antarctica may be proof of a parallel universe.
A group of NASA scientists have claimed that `a fountain of high-energy particles erupting from the ice` in Antarctica may be proof of a parallel universe -- where the rules of physics must be the opposite of our own.

In what may be called a rejig from sci-fi TV shows and comics of the early 1960s, a cosmic ray detection experiment has found particles that could be from a parallel realm that also was born in the Big Bang, the Daily Star reported.
The experts, in an experiment being carried out in Antarctica, used a giant balloon to carry NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna, or ANITA, high above Antarctica, where there would be no radio noise to distort its findings.
In the Antarctic, things happen at a glacial pace. Just ask Peter Gorham. For a month at a time, he and his colleagues would watch a giant balloon carrying a collection of antennas float high above the ice, scanning over a million square kilometres of the frozen landscape for evidence of high-energy particles arriving from space.

When the experiment returned to the ground after its first flight, it had nothing to show for itself, bar the odd flash of background noise. It was the same story after the second flight more than a year later.

While the balloon was in the sky for the third time, the researchers decided to go over the past data again, particularly those signals dismissed as noise. It was lucky they did. Examined more carefully, one signal seemed to be the signature of a high-energy particle. But it wasn’t what they were looking for. Moreover, it seemed impossible. Rather than bearing down from above, this particle was exploding out of the ground.So ,some scientists have bizarrely proposed that the particles could be flowing into our world from a parallel universe where the fundamentals of physics are different to ours.
That strange finding was made in 2016. Since then, all sorts of suggestions rooted in known physics have been put forward to account for the perplexing signal, and all have been ruled out. What’s left is shocking in its implications. Explaining this signal requires the existence of a topsy-turvy universe created in the same big bang as our own and existing in parallel with it. In this mirror world, positive is negative, left is right and time runs backwards. It is perhaps the most mind-melting idea ever to have emerged from the Antarctic ice – but it might just be true. …
According to a report by a Famous Science journal , a parallel universe where everything is mirrored could have been created during the Big Bang.
Neil Turok of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, has proposed the particles are right-handed neutrinos moving back in time.
Scientists are baffled by the particles in Antarctica because they appear to be streaming from the ground up, a feat normally considered impossible for high-energy particles.
Lead researcher and University of Hawai's Physics Professor Peter Gorham said the particles resemble an upside-down cosmic ray shower.
He said: "What we saw is something that looked just like a cosmic ray, as seen a reflection off the ice sheet but it wasn't reflected.It was as if the cosmic ray had come out of the ice itself. A very strange thing"
NEUTRINOS- are subatomic particles with a neutral charge and a mass smaller than any other known elementary particle.The particles were created in the Big Bang and were wrongly thought for a long time to travel faster than the speed of light.
