Dark matter can be 'mirror' within our own universe — and it's not what we imagine
New research suggests that dark matter, a mysterious element that makes up the majority of the universe's mass, may be a mirror reflection of our own, but with broken rules.

This mirroring of dark matter might contribute to the explanation of the universe's coincidence of identical amounts of dark and normal matter.
