New model suggests universe and anti-universe emerge together

A new cosmological model proposes that our universe and a time-reversed anti-universe can emerge simultaneously from nothing through a quantum process. This approach differs from traditional models that rely on singularities, addressing key challenges in earlier theories. The model suggests that the universe arises from a Euclidean phase, avoiding infinite densities. It incorporates a quantum potential to explain the observed flatness of the universe and allows for a robust inflationary period, addressing weaknesses in previous proposals. Additionally, the model's symmetry implies a connection between the universe and its anti-universe, potentially offering explanations for dark energy and dark matter. Future research aims to derive testable predictions and further explore the relationship between quantum mechanics and general relativity.
