Nasa May Have Discovered Possible Parallel Universe Where Time Runs Backward

By · · 2 min read

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The main character in the movie ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ had anything but an ordinary life. Button was born old and, as the years went by, he became younger and younger – the reverse order of human chronology.

NASA scientists discovered evidence of a "probable parallel universe" where time runs backward.

What if the same thing were to happen in space? Some NASA scientists say they have discovered evidence of a “probable parallel universe” where time runs backward. It sounds like a science fiction movie script – but it’s not.

The “parallel universe” is located in Antarctica and was found with the help of Antarctica’s Impulsive Transient Antenna (Anita). But the scientists were not exactly looking for that. The aim was to investigate the “wind” of high energy particles coming from outer space.

During the study, the researchers observed “tau neutrinos,” high-energy and heavier particles coming “up” out of the Earth, which implies that these particles are actually traveling backward in time.

However, Peter Gorham, an experimental particle physicist from the University of Hawaii, and his team found particles that move inversely to those of planet Earth, traveling backward, which suggests a parallel universe.

In an interview with the scientific journal New Scientist, however, Gorham stated that “not everyone is comfortable with this hypothesis.”

According to the scientists’ analysis, what could have happened to make this second “world” possible, is that two universes were formed at the time of the Big Bang.

The first is the one we know, and the second is running backward from the perspective of time on Earth. If this universe is inhabited, our planet is running in reverse to it. It would be like a version of ourselves in a mirror. Right becomes left, positive is negative.

Better to cross our fingers and hope that this universe, unlike the inverted one in the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’, has no lurking Demogorgon.
