To explain the cosmos« greatest mysteries, researchers are suggesting the existence of a mirror world, housed within our universe. Is it really possible that there could be a world completely beyond our reach, also born of the big bang, but where it would be much colder? It would potentially be five times more massive than our universe, and possibly contain stars, black holes and galaxies. Some have even raised the possibility of life being found there, with the latter also pondering the existence of a parallel world! This world would be invisible to our eyes, which only see »ordinary" matter.
