Dark stars may be waiting to be discovered in a parallel mirror universe

There is no doubt that science sometimes has a poetic streak, especially in the field of cosmological speculation. In this fascinating branch of science we find such things as parallel universes, wormholes, twin stars, nebulae shaped like eagles, eyes or pillars, and the platitudes that we are all made of stardust or that gold is made of stardust. star formation. To this repertoire of theoretical ideas we must add mirror universes and dark stars.

There may be an invisible region in the Universe made entirely of dark matter, including stars, nebulae and galaxies. This idea challenges our traditional understanding of the cosmos, suggesting that dark matter not only exerts the gravitational influence that holds galaxies together and forms the largest structures in the universe, but may also be as diverse and complex as the visible universe. Recent theories suggest the existence of a “mirror universe” populated by dark matter particles equivalent to the electrons, quarks and neutrinos of the visible Universe, but interacting through their own fundamental forces. In this parallel universe, “mirror stars” will form through processes similar to those of ordinary stars, but emitting dark photons invisible to us.

In a recent scientific breakthrough, researchers explored the possibility that dark matter, an as-yet-undiscovered form of matter that makes up about 85% of the total mass of the universe, lives in a mirror universe parallel to ours. According to Isabella Armstrong of the University of Toronto, this mirror universe will consist of dark versions of our atoms and particles, such as dark protons and electrons, forming dark stars, similar to the known ones, but made of dark matter and emitting dark energy. photons.

Despite scientific efforts, dark matter remains a mystery, known only for its abundance and the gravitational influence that holds stars and galaxies together. To clarify the nature of this “other” matter, the existence of a “Mirror Universe” consisting of atomic dark matter has been proposed. This concept not only redefines our understanding of World Heritage, but also opens up new possibilities for astronomical research.

The hypothesis suggests that although these “mirror stars” would be invisible to our eyes because they do not emit ordinary light, they could be detected using visible light emitted by fragments of ordinary matter attracted by their gravity. This phenomenon would turn mirror stars into objects similar to white dwarfs, but distinguishable by noticeable X-ray and visible light signals.

Although this theory is highly speculative, its study could be entrusted to next-generation telescopes, such as the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile, which is expected to become operational in 2025, and which could observe the gravitational effect of light passing through one of them. these stars are a mirror.
