Physicist Naman Kumar from IIT Gandhinagar suggests the universe was born alongside an anti-universe—its mirror opposite, where time flows in reverse.

Kumar’s theory replaces the infinite-density Big Bang with a finite, smooth “Euclidean phase” where time behaves like a spatial dimension.

Instead of spatial curvature, a quantum potential drives the early expansion—accounting for the flatness and uniformity of today’s universe.

The scale of the universe follows a cosine-like curve, starting from a nonzero size—sidestepping the singularity and infinite beginnings.

Inspired by ideas from Hawking and Hartle, Kumar goes further—merging quantum mechanics and cosmology into a new origin model.

The universe and its anti-universe may remain quantum-entangled, suggesting a hidden symmetry still influencing cosmic expansion.

Kumar believes this cosmic entanglement could explain dark energy—the mysterious force pushing galaxies apart at an accelerating rate.

This twin birth model may also illuminate the origin of dark matter, suggesting it arises from the universe’s symmetrical creation.

Kumar is now analyzing patterns in the cosmic microwave background—searching for subtle fingerprints of our anti-universe twin.
