Our Reality May Only Be Half, New Research Claims

Our reality may only be half of a pair of interacting worlds, according to new research. Physicists sometimes come up with bizarre stories that sound like science fiction. Yet some turn out to be true, like how the curvature of space and time described by Einstein was eventually confirmed by astronomical measurements. Others linger on as mere possibilities or mathematical curiosities. In a new paper, researchers investigated the imaginative possibility that our reality is only one-half of a pair of interacting worlds.

The pair of scientists realized that experiments on the electrical properties of stacked sheets of graphene produced results that resembled little universes and that the underlying phenomenon might generalize to other areas of physics.

In stacks of graphene, new electrical behaviors arise from interactions between the individual sheets, so maybe unique physics could similarly emerge from interacting layers elsewhere—perhaps in cosmological theories about the entire universe. This promotes the existence of multiverse i.e multiple parallel universes.

Stacked graphene’s exceptional electrical properties and possible connection to our reality having a twin come from the special physics produced by patterns called moiré patterns. Moiré patterns form when two repeating patterns—anything from the hexagons of atoms in graphene sheets to the grids of window screens—overlap and one of the layers is twisted, offset, or stretched.

The patterns that emerge can repeat over lengths that are vast compared to the underlying patterns. In graphene stacks, the new patterns change the physics that plays out in the sheets, notably the electrons’ behaviors. In the special case called “magic angle graphene,” the moiré pattern repeats over a length that is about 52 times longer than the pattern length of the individual sheets, and the energy level that governs the behaviors of the electrons drops precipitously, allowing new behaviors, including superconductivity.

Galitski and Parhizkar realized that the physics in two sheets of graphene could be reinterpreted as the physics of two two-dimensional universes where electrons occasionally hop between universes. This inspired the pair to generalize the math to apply to universes made of any number of dimensions, including our own four-dimensional one, and to explore if similar phenomena resulting from moiré patterns might pop up in other areas of physics. This started a line of inquiry that brought them face to face with one of the major problems in cosmology.

You are doing a great job. Please continue and i will do my best to share these to as many possible to show my support✋

[Ayushvadgama]

Great content on science. Keep it up ♥️

[aclearlight]

Lovely vid, but now I'm frustrated bc you gave no link to go deeper or find the article!

Sir are telling about Parallel Universe?
I think that the dreams that comes in our mind is the reality in another parallel world. And sir I have also seen some videos on YouTube in which some peoples are seen that came from other world ( similar to our Earth). If the STRING Theory is correct then this possibility of Parallel Universe is true.

I'm not competent to have an opinion about the physics, but the guys have had a moment of SERENDIPITY! This is sometimes the way great advances are made from seemingly unrelated areas of research! It's a bit like a flukey shot in a game of snooker, but it's also a great feeling! I'm actually rather jealous! ⚛️❗🥴👍❗❤️🥰👍❗❤️🌵 non-sequitur cactus intrusion into this dimension!

I am extremely fascinated..
But I still don't have the skills to completely comprehend this..

The more questions answered the questions come up

I always knew we were living in Sylvarant.

We are not in one of the 2 sides: everything exist between.

My thoughts on this? Well I’m so glad you asked. I believe that the chemistry department pranked the materials researchers by dropping LSD on the graphene sheets.

“Dude…what if our universe is the result of two universes that are just about to make sweet sweet inter universal love…like our graphene…dude we’re getting this shit published yo!
