Big Bang May Have Created a Mirror Universe Where Time Runs Backwards

The expansion after the simulated Big Bang didn’t just happen in one direction, but two. The simple Big Bang they modeled produced two universes, one a mirror of the other. In one universe, time appears to run forwards. In the other, time runs backwards, at least from our perspective.

Big Bang May Have Created a Mirror Universe Where Time Runs Backwards

I don't think there was a big bang, but if there was I don't see how this would work. How do you run backwards right after the big bang happened?

Was the mirror universe created at the point where our universe ends and then runs backward to the big bang happening? That doesn't make much sense. I think their simulation is flawed.

I agree. Just because someone can make a model that works, does not mean that it is likely or even possible. It still needs to describe what we can observe.

I don't know about the reality of a Big Bang. But, I've always thought things were backwards in this reality, even time. For one thing, time's direction here moves toward chaos. Illogical?

And, when we look at star light, it's traveled billions and billions of miles before it arrived on my corneas, from a time and place we all supposedly originated. How is that not a mirror, or suggest that we are mere echoes, proving, to me, we live in a backwards reality.

Can't prove anything with MATH though, sorry.

Yea i once had a dream where bones became beings and people could speak things into existence.

Nope, stars formed all over the place, at various times, and quite a while after the origin. It's the CMB you're thinking of but you can't see it and it comes from everywhere. Which is where the Universe started.

I can prove I'm slowly going broke.

If there really was a big bang then it is logical. Explosions create chaos not order. Light has a speed limit so it is logical it takes time to reach us.

The big bang was not an explosion. It was an expansion. And it's still happening.

Even universes. I know this is true. But, if there was a big bang, then everything, at some time, did come from some "direction" or point. Perhaps that direction/point is, illogically, everywhere. Or perhaps, at this point in our own reality of time and space, echoes are everywhere and just about everything we see and hear. Perhaps this theoretical "mirror" reality, that I have sparks of suspicion holds some truth, is a natural phenomena of the methods of creation, or of the Big Bang.

It could be some greater society of beings just applying opposite force into our reality in order to attempt to change history. Anyhow as far as i know time is just a perception of an energy we really do not understand but theorize much about in order to create a working model of illusion.

Logic. The Universe is, by definition "everywhere."
And it continues to get bigger.

An explosion is an expansion, ever heard the term thermal expansion. Why didn't they call it the big expansion then

I meant "galaxies", not universes, oops.

So, if there was a big bang, it happened "everywhere". ? And, continues happen, everywhere.

Is the universe still banging?

a reply to: Sookiechacha

The theory goes that when it happened it was everything, so it was everywhere and that is why CMB is everywhere.

It is still expanding from the big expansion.

Funny you should mention that. I spent yesterday working on getting a frozen bolt out of my outboard motor. Torch worked wonders but nothing exploded.


An explosion starts somewhere, not everywhere.
An explosion expands into something.

But, red shift, blue shift?
No matter what, all the starlight we see, came from the past, not the future.

Where is home? We exist in a tiny, temporary and unpredictable bubbles of stability. But we all know our future, it's deterioration, or chaos....or Heaven. But, even Jesus said that Heaven and Earth shall pass.

Glad you got it out, is it running again?

If an expansion starts everywhere then there would be no place to expand. An expansion has to expand just like an explosion.

I got the part off, then found out that my old outboard is really old. Want to buy me a new one? I hate entropy (not to be confused with chaos).

The Universe is, by definition, everywhere.

I think I've got it.

In that universe, everything slowly progresses via physics and time just like in this one, except..

Time is backwards. All that means is on mirror Earth, the sun rises at 6pm and sets at 6-9am roughly, depending on the season. The clocks tick backwards and digital clocks count down, not up. All numbers are negatives and negative numbers are positives, but other than that it works the same way. In other words, the humans there are just backwards and wrong. They call everything the opposite of what it is numerically, subtraction is addition, etc.

Sounds like that backwards universe has crossed into our universe recently

Pretty brave using a torch on aluminum to remove stainless steel bolt. It takes a fine touch to do that. Let's hope you did not create some tiny stress fractures that you will only find at the wrong time.
