The model of the universe presented in this chapter is based upon, and metaphysically extrapolated from, the discoveries presented in Part I of this book.

In this dual-universe model, Our Unitary Universe is composed of matter and antimatter such that the sum of their respective attributes and anti-attributes equals zero. Matter possesses attributes or dimensions of mass, temperature, charge, length, and time. The anti-attributes of antimatter are antimass, antitemperature, anticharge, antilength, and antitime.

Suppose that--someplace--a bunch of matter exists that possesses precise magnitudes for its attributes--it has a particular mass at a particular temperature, possesses a certain charge, occupies a certain amount of space, and ages with time.

Now, suppose that a similar bunch of antimatter exists whose anti-attributes possess the same magnitudes as do the attributes of the bunch of matter. Although the magnitudes of the respective attributes are the same, the signs would be different: positive, negative; clockwise, counterclockwise, etc. The signs of the attributes and anti-attributes oppose each other in every dimension.

The two bunches can be combined and converted from the matter mode of existence into one of two other modes of existence: energy or virtual.

In the energy mode, a particle and an antiparticle do not exactly coincide in space. A distance--the wavelength of the energy beam--separates them. However, if the wavelength is zero, the particles exist in the virtual mode--coincide spatially--and virtually disappear, leaving nothing behind, not even energy.

The sum of their attributes and anti-attributes is zero--mass cancels antimass, temperature--antitemperature, time--antitime, space--antispace . . . Nothing remains, not even empty space--not even a void.

A matter person in a matter environment experiences the same physical laws as does an antimatter person in an antimatter environment. Only if all dimensional attributes, including mass, are opposite in sign to anti-attributes is this possible.

However, if a matter person could peer into an antimatter world, he would see an amazing sight--like a movie film projected in reverse. An anti-Black Hole would appear as a White Hole, an anti-Big Bang--as a Big Crunch. Antipeople would seem to get younger, finally, to disappear at birth. Conversely, an antimatter person looking into a matter world also would see time reversed.

This means that the age of the matter part of the dual universe is equal and opposite to the anti-age of the antimatter part. Added together, the age of the entire dual universe is zero. The dual universe is ageless, and its total entropy is zero as well. Although entropy and anti-entropy both increase over time, anti-entropy increases over antitime, so, as far as our matter world is concerned, it decreases and cancels out entropy.

In this model, the universe is a perfectly-balanced, symmetrical dual universe. Not only are attributes conjugates of anti-attributes, so are the various forces, of their respective antiforces. Although the forces of gravitation and antigravitation are attractive within their own environments, matter and antimatter gravitationally repel each other. The electromagnetic and anti-electromagnetic forces follow similar but opposite rules. Electrons electromagnetically repel other electrons; positrons--other positrons, but electrons attract positrons.

In sum, within each of the two environments, particles that are alike, gravitationally attract and electromagnetically repel, while, when spanning the two, the opposite is true--conjugate particles gravitationally repel and electromagnetically attract.
