Re: some new kinds of Matter and forces ?

Dear Friends:

There are some interesting statements here. Paticularly in reference
to what H P B says in
S D I p. 142-3,

Anew kind of Matter ?

Mirror Matter?

Blue Matter?

Dark Matter ?

A force that is slowing down the Pioneer rockets ? Curious ?

We ought take note of these and see what follow-up ensues.


But the questions are not answerable yet. Mainly they are
observations and questions.


Best wishes.

Dallas

Of course, this is all over my head, but I did read something recently
that may be relevant, -or not?

Mirror matter mystery

By Dr David Whitehouse
BBC News Online science editor


Two Australian scientists believe they have found evidence of a
parallel universe of strange matter within our own Solar System. Dr
Robert Foot and Dr Saibal Mitra, of the University of Melbourne,
report that close-up observations of the asteroid Eros by the
Near-Shoemaker
probe indicate it has been splattered by so-called "mirror
matter". Mirror matter is not anti-matter, it is altogether weirder.
It is somehow a "reflection" of normal matter, a sort of parallel
series of particles required to restore the balance of the Universe.
Sounds far-fetched - some believe so. However, experiments are
underway to confirm or deny the existence of this strange, potentially
significant but as yet undetected component of the cosmos.
Cosmic balance
Mirror matter is a hypothetical form of matter that restores
nature's flawed left-right symmetry. Laws of nature, such as the
rules that govern the interactions of fundamental particles, show a
high degree of symmetry except that some laws are not the same when
reflected in a hypothetical mirror.

Blue dirt: Pools of dust may be impact sites This
means that elementary particles display a preference for left over
right. In a way, the Universe is left-handed. Why? Nobody knows. Many
physicists are happy with this idea believing that in the first
instants of the Big Bang everything was perfectly symmetrical. Only
when the cosmos cooled did it become asymmetric, with a difference
emerging between left and right. But some scientists do not accept
this. They maintain that the Universe has a left-right balance
because there exists "mirror matter" - for every known particle there
is a mirror particle that restores the cosmic balance.
Dark matter
Mirror matter would produce its own light but we would not be
able to see it because mirror matter only interacts with our matter
via gravity. Dr Robert Foot believes that mirror matter would have
been made in abundance in the Big Bang and that it is all around us
but we can't see it.

Mirror man Dr Robert Foot

"There could be mirror matter stars, planets and galaxies out
there," he told BBC News Online. "In fact, some think that the
unseen so-called "dark matter" of the Universe could actually be
mirror matter," he adds. "Mirror matter is perfect to explain dark
matter. It's dark and can only be detected through its gravity." Dr
Foot believes he has found evidence that it is here, closer than we
believed, and that it had had a measurable effect on our spaceprobes.

Mysterious force
In October 2000, the Near-Shoemaker spacecraft lightly touched
down on the 3-by-13-by-33-km (8 by 8 by 20 miles) Eros asteroid. It
was the first time a probe had landed on an asteroid. Its close
scrutiny of Eros revealed many strange features - such as
flat-bottomed craters filled with a peculiar bluish dust, and a
puzzling lack of small craters. Unexplained by conventional
understanding, Dr Foot believes that mirror matter provides an
answer.
He calculates that small objects containing mirror matter could
have struck the asteroid and left behind precisely the same scars
that are seen. Indeed, he says there is no other credible
explanation. He also calculates that mirror matter may explain the
mysterious force that acts on both the Pioneer 10 and 11 deep
spaceprobes.

Distant probes

Launched in 1972, the Pioneers are leaving the Solar System in
opposite directions. Detailed analysis of their trajectory indicates
that they are both subject to a tiny, unexplained force that is
slowing them down. Dr Foot believes that mirror matter exerting a drag
on the Pioneers could
be to blame.

Mysterious force: Pioneer 10

"How else can you explain that both Pioneers, on opposite ends
of the Solar System, experience the same force pushing in the same
direction?" Dr Foot asks. In a research paper to be published
shortly, Drs Foot and Mitra suggest that mirror matter may even have
struck the Earth. He singles out three possible events: the 1908
Tunguska impact in Siberia and low-altitude, low-velocity fireballs
seen in Spain in 1994 and in Jordan in 2001. "Mirror matter could
also explain these events," he told BBC News Online.

Future experiments

Many scientists dismiss mirror matter as wild speculation but
even the sceptics will have cause for thought if the latest
experiments from the European Centre for Nuclear Research (Cern) are
to be believed. Experiments involving so-called ortho-positronium - an
arrangement in which an electron orbits a positron (its antimatter
equivalent) - show that it decays slightly faster than can be
explained. This could be due, says Dr Foot, to the electrons changing
fleetingly into mirror matter and then back again. Experiments at
Cern and in Moscow hope to determine in the next year or so if mirror
matter really does exist. See also:
