Could the missing dark energy and mass be in a nearby anti-Universe?

Could the missing dark energy & mass be in a nearby anti-universe, in time-reversal, so our and their net energy and mass sum to zero?

Not being much of a scientist myself, I have to call this Alan M’s conjecture, posted here for all and sundry to shoot down in flames.  Or maybe to solve?

According to thermodynamics 1 at UCT in 1963, conservation of energy in any isolated system is a fundamental concept, if I remember that correctly.

If we picture the big bang as emerging through a naked singularity in the void, in the energy form of a huge amount of pure photon momentum, it has only one way to keep at zero the energy of the new isolated system it has escaped into.  The bigger the quantum of energy emerging, the shorter the time it has to act.  So it has to split in two, one half of it must become ‘negative’ energy, while the other half becomes ‘positive’energy.  Given the amount of photon and matter energy we see in our universe, the split that produced the negative energy mirror of our universe must have happened in the shortest possible time scale.  Some energy, some explosion, as Winston Churchill might have said.

Seeing as photons, gravitons, and Higgs bosons are alleged to be their own anti-quanta, the only way to turn into negative energy, it seems, is for the paired positive and negative universes to set off in exactly opposite paths through the time dimension of space-time.

Once we have this model to play with, I think proper scientists will be able to fine tune the whole idea.  It would mean Fred Hoyle was at least half right when he put forward his idea that matter emerges spontaneously in empty space.  He just omitted to mention the balancing amount of anti-matter in the other half of the paired universes, going backward in time.

We would need to explore the way the two universes remain paired and entangled at a distance in space time.  Being separated by the time dimension only, is the distance between them ct, or 2ct?  Would their paired existence sort out the Einstein-Born disputes about the Deity playing dice with the universe?  Is it because the energy of two balanced universes must remain zero, that E=mc^2 ?  Are the naked singularities Fred Hoyle called black holes pinning the paired universes together by means of Hawking radiation?

Was the very short energy burst we call ínflation’ fuelled by photon phase-change from the energy of massless momentum condensing into the kinetic energy of particles with mass, courtesy of Higgs boson intervention?

Are the twinned universes a toroidal structure in space time?  As continual emergence of matter in one and anti-matter in the other keeps increasing the curvature of space-time, how long can the toroidal twins keep expanding until gravitational tension starts them moving back towards each other for the final crunch when they disappear back into the void?

And, because we are beginning to notice the repulsive side of gravity, does it mean that the ever-increasing energy of the ‘spring tension’ between the paired universes is starting to overcome their momentum along the time dimension?

As usual, there seem to more questions than answers here.  I do need a lot of help.  Many thanks to the Naked Scientists for making it possible to ask them.

Interesting idea, but how would we prove, or even test it?

If we were to run this scenario in one direction in time then a collapsing antimatter universe would result in an expanding matter universe. The question is could this be cyclic?

Hi Mary, Karen, & Antony & all the Mitchell Clan
 
Last night I got to Stephen Hawking's Final Book, Chapter One.
 
It made wonderful reading.  Stephen deals explicitly with what I have been trying to say for more than a year now in my letters to Zahra in my posts on the Naked Scientists web-site forum topic 71376.
 
What more is there to say?
 
It is a Happy Happy Day !
 
Cheers
 
Alan M

Morning Chris and All at Naked Scientists
 
And Best Wishes to all of you for a Happy 2019 and the years thereafter from Sunny Seaforth, Simon's Town.
 
It might be an idea to have another look at where your Naked Science Forum Topic 71376 has gone so far?
 
Cape Talk/702 might enjoy it today or sometime soon?
 
Attached for information.
 
Sincerely,

No it isn’t, it’s just a weak attempt to spam us.
