The truth is likely to be much less exotic, researchers behind the findings tell The Independent

Despite numerous reports, scientists have not found evidence of a parallel universe where time runs backwards.
A number of outlets reported this week that researchers in Antarctica had found evidence for a parallel universe based on an experiment where scientists found particles that seemed to break the laws of physics.
All of the reports cite the same source: a story from New Scientist from April 2020, about a finding made in 2016.
The report focuses on findings from the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), which uses an array of radio antennas suspended from a helium balloon flying at a height of about 37,000 meters to detect radio pulses sent out by cosmic neutrinos during flights in December 2006 and December 2014.
Normally, these are sent from space to the earth, but the researchers found some anomalous events where the neutrinos seem to have come from the planets interior something which cannot be explained by current physics.

So much potential, gone. You mean we have to settle for this measley little universe we already live in?

(160,516 posts)6. Here's The Real Truth Behind That Viral 'NASA Finds Parallel Universe' Story
SIGNE DEAN 22 MAY 2020
Every time tabloids and social media dramatically mishandle a science news story, the urge to unplug the internet and plug it back in again is excruciatingly strong.
If you've heard the recent claim that NASA detected a parallel universe (!) in Antarctica (!) where time runs backwards (!!), we're glad you've now clicked on this article. Strap yourselves in for the truth.
"It seems that for this tabloid science story, some speculative theoretical physics which might have had distant roots in plausibility was amplified for sensational reasons," University of Hawai'i at Mānoa experimental particle physicist Peter Gorham told ScienceAlert.
The egregious 'parallel universe detected' nonsense started out innocently enough.
The respectable New Scientist magazine published a (pay-walled) feature on April 8, discussing some anomalous results coming from neutrino detection experiments in Antarctica, and what these could mean for a speculative cosmological model that posits there's an antimatter universe extending backwards from the BigBang.
Then some online outlets, uh, 'borrowed' this report, the whole thing snowballed, and here we are.
