Description: A mirror world is predicted to exist if nature is invariant under parity.
It has been conventional wisdom that the fundamental laws of physics are not invariant under parity. A small minority of physicists, however, have taken a different view. They have argued that a so-called mirror world could exist. Nature would then be symmetric under parity. Their so-called exact parity model predicts the existence of so-called ''mirror matter''. Each particle is postulated to have a mirror partner with similar properties (they behave exactly as the mirror image of their partners). This is thus similar to anti-matter, the main difference is that mirror particles and ordinary particles only have very weak interactions, otherwise they would have been detected already.
