NASA May Have Discovered Scientific Proof That Parallel Universes Exist

Thrillist – Researchers were perplexed by “a fountain of high-energy particles erupting from the ice” in Antarctica at NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA). These high-energy particles arrive from space, but cannot pass through the solid mass of the Earth. Yet, instead of detecting these particles coming from space or reflecting off the ice, ANITA has found them coming up from the ice. Low-energy neutrinos, per New Scientist, can pass through solid matter like the Earth, but that’s not the case with high-energy neutrinos. 

ANITA has twice detected a “fountain” of high-energy particles coming up from the Earth’s surface in years past, with the first time occurring in 2016. The rays resemble an “upside-down cosmic-ray shower,” says Gorham. “What we saw is something that looked just like a cosmic ray, as seen in reflection off the ice sheet, but it wasn’t reflected,” he says. “It was as if the cosmic ray had come out of the ice itself. A very strange thing.”

The phenomenon has been reviewed and more easily digestible explanations have been largely ruled out, according to the report, which hypothesizes that the particles may have been traveling back through time, providing theoretical evidence of a parallel universe. New Scientist explained that the “signal requires the existence of a topsy-turvy universe created in the same big bang as our own and existing in parallel with it. In this mirror world, positive is negative, left is right, and time runs backwards.” It would be a universe “made of antimatter rather than matter.”

So if this report — which largely is culled from the the credible New Scientist website — is to be believed, we not only could have parallel universes. But, in fact, we could have a BIZARRO UNIVERSE! The most exciting of universes, if I’m to believe decades of TV and comedy. Just remember things like:

Bizarro Jerry Seinfeld:

Bizarro Superman, whom you know is all about that opposite life with how he greets people by saying “Goodbye”:

Evil Abed from Community:

And so many more! Their Opposite Day is just a regular ass day!

To me, it’s a reassuring concept to think that there are other universes. Whether it’s the “every choice creates a new timeline” world view of a show like Rick and Morty or the “Time is a stream” view like the Avengers movies, I think there’s something out there. Maybe we’re in a simulation that has millions of simulations going at once, like some Black Mirror episodes have posited. I have no clue. But to believe that all you see directly in front of you is life … that’s easily the most boring outcome. A situation where every regret you have, every misstep, every missed opportunity has a chance to have the alternative outcome is my personal ideal.

But of course with science’s lazy asses we’re not likely to see anything come out of this for a while. Even if they can prove there’s a parallel universe or the ability to travel through time, it’ll take them centuries (if ever) to figure out how to harness it. And, again as movies and TVs have shown us, that will probably be done incorrectly and it’ll unleash unspeakable evil onto the world.

But still! There’s hope that somewhere 2020 sucks slightly less bad! Opposite Universe Us is probably having the best year ever as President Vince McMahon leads the United States to unprecedented growth. We’ve never been healthier, Joe Exotic is free and he and Carole Baskin married each other, and the McRib never left us! The only limit in the Opposite Universe is our imaginations!
