This is a featured cover article reported in New Scientist on Jun. 5, 2019 by Michael Brooks. Here are some excerpts related to the new theory:“Many other puzzles can be naturally explained using the same model with the same parameters,” says Wanpeng Tan at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana (see “They do it […]

How does the new mirror matter theory differ from other parallel world theories?

We would like to clarify that other partial or seemingly related parallel world proposals in literature are different from the here-discussed mirror matter theory. For example, the twin-Higgs model is just an incomplete mirror model for the Higgs particle only. The brane-world model seems to be an extension to the mirror symmetry but most likely […]

Is arXiv a monopoly bully in scientific publication?

A repost from Tan’s blog:After decades of ever-increasing dominance, arXiv.org has become the largest and most popular storage space or eprint service for scientific publications in physics and other related fields. It would have been the most beneficial to the physics community had arXiv sticked to its original principles for sharing new ideas and works […]

Future of the new mirror matter theory

[revised from a blog post from W. Tan]The new mirror matter theory has only a very rough framework with many of its aspects waiting to be greatly improved and further developed as a nascent research direction. In particular, its mathematical rigor and foundations have yet to be established. Relevant new mathematical tools and approaches must […]
