Scientists are trying to open a portal to a parallel universe

[BUtterfield 8 41,832]

Broussard’s experiment will fire a beam of subatomic particles down a 50-foot tunnel. The beam will pass a powerful magnet and hit an impenetrable wall, with a neutron detector behind it.

If the experiment is successful, particles will transform into mirror images of themselves, allowing them to burrow right through the impenetrable wall.

This would prove that the visible universe is only half of what is out there, Broussard said, but she also admitted that she expects the test to “measure zero.”

However, there wouldn’t be an alternate version of you. Current theory, the outlet explains, only hypothesizes that mirror atoms and mirror rocks are possible — and perhaps even mirror planets and stars.

Well that's not gonna end up well

Okay, not NY Post. The experiment is not nearly as sensational as this tabloid is making it seem. It's a simple proof of concept and NOT about "unlocking" portals.

I'm an actual physicist. "The other side" is more of a metaphor just like "dark matter" and "dark energy". This looks like a stretch but can have big consequences if confirmed. So they're gonna test it now. What it won't do is "unlock a portal to a different dimension".

Wait, so there is no Earth where Bad Romance was #1 and TikTok #2?

I'm not denying the possibility.  Hoping for it actually.

Just that this experiment has nothing to do with that.

I think you can pull it off, especially with that always dead expression

Please don't. Better yet, Invent flying cars, teleportation, and time machine please! People always say these things will exist on 21st Century, but where is it?!!!

There's 7 billion of us and some of us could work on different things

I mean I'm sure more people need to work on ending poverty but that's not as easy done as it is said. I'm sure the overall progress towards it won't be significantly hindered if some people who specialize in small particles decide to dedicate their lives to studying small particles.
