End of Inflation Theory? Neil Turok’s Bold New Mirror Universe Hypothesis Explained [Ep. 480]

In this thought-provoking discussion, renowned physicist Neil Turok from the University of Edinburgh introduces his radical mirror universe hypothesis, proposing a simpler cosmological model without inflation. Turok explores how a mirror universe could explain dark matter and cosmic flatness while revisiting the notions of symmetries, particularly CPT symmetry. He challenges traditional cosmological theories, examining the implications of time travel and the intricate relationship between neutrinos and dark matter density, inviting us to rethink our understanding of the universe.
