How to discover Mirror Stars

Have mirror stars been observed ?

Observations by the MACHO collaboration suggest that a significant proportion of the galactic halo dark matter is in the form of compact objects with typical masses M ∼ 0.5M ⊙. One of the current mysteries is the nature and origin of these objects. We suggest that these objects are stars composed of mirror matter. This interpretation provides a plausible explanation for the inferred masses and ...

mass objects orbit mirror stars ?

Do " isolated " planetary mass objects orbit mirror stars? Abstract We propose that the " isolated " planetary mass objects observed by Zapatero Osorio et al in the σ Orionis cluster might actually be in orbit around invisible stellar mass companions such as mirror stars. Mirror matter is expected to exist if parity is an unbroken symmetry of nature. Future observations can test this idea by lo...

How Einstein Did Not Discover

What powered Einstein’s discoveries? Was it asking naïve questions, stubbornly? Was it a mischievous urge to break rules? Was it the destructive power of operational thinking? It was none of these. Rather, Einstein made his discoveries through lengthy, mundane investigations, pursued with tenacity and discipline. We have been led to think otherwise in part through Einstein’s brilliance at recou...

How Computers Discover How Computers Discover (A mini-review of algorithmic meta-discovery)

In traditional exerimental sciences one forms hypotheses explaining an empirical sample of some natural phenomenon. The hypothesis discovery process can in certain cases be automated using machine learning algorithms. I discuss some consequences of viewing scientific discovery, primarily computer based, itself as a natural phenomenon, whose empirical sample may be analyzed or hypothesized about...
