A team of researchers studying the quantum realm say they have observed an otherworldly mirror universe through the eye of a decaying monopole that is eerily reminiscent of the mirror universe written about by author Lewis Carroll in his Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. For decades, scientists have theorized how an actual magnetic monopole might decay, with the most common theory being that it would create a brief, fleeting ring-like structure that might open the door to an alternate “mirror” universe. As noted, the mirror universe revealed by these decaying rings reminded theorists of the mirror universe in Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, where everything is the opposite of the real world. Such theoretical Alice rings have remained particularly elusive for decades. But now, a team of researchers who have been studying the phenomenon for years say they have spotted these structures in nature for the first time ever. And as they suspected, ‘Alice rings’ may indeed be a portal to what they describe as an “otherworldly” mirror universe…
