Anti-Universe, Positive Moon

A team of scientists from University of Waterloo have come up with an exciting new theory that explains the origin of the universe, its expansion, and the presence of dark matter. It involves the existence of a mirrored doppelganger called an ‘anti-universe’ where time runs backwards. And it might even be testable.

ANTI- UNIVERSE. A bit much for me first thing in the morning, but I’m going to sit with it later. Though my immediate thought was ANTI-CLOCK.

NASA is finally rolling the Artemis 1 rocket out; this is the transLunar injection rocket that’s supposed to get crew-rated in May, in what’s called a “wet dress rehearsal” test. They basically just toss an empty can around the Moon and back, and if the can doesn’t spring a leak it’s okay to stuff it with people.

In the meantime, lunar cave explorer robots are being designed. Previously: the Moon FedEx.

The Webb telescope did a calibration shot on a single star — but captured a background of hundreds of ancient galaxies as well.

I maintain that science has the best stories.
