This experimental fact motivates the idea that a set of  mirror particles' exist. The left-handedness of the ordinary particles can then be balanced by the right-handedness of the mirror particles. In this way mirror reflection symmetry can exist but requires something profoundly new. It requires the existence of a completely new form of matter called  mirror matter'. Remarkably the mirror matter theory is capable of simply explaining a large number of contemporary puzzles in astrophysics and particle physics. The evidence ranges from observations suggesting that most of the matter in the Universe is invisible, to unexpected properties of ghostly particles called  neutrinos'. This book explains this fascinating theory and its evidence at a level accessible to the non-specialist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46895781249175,"sku":"9781581126457","price":2255.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781581126457.webp?v=1770355643","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shadowlands-quest-for-mirror-matter-in-the-universe-9781581126457","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
