A team of Japanese scientists may have found a new approach towards physics after studying the twisted light from space. This light is different because it appeared after the big bang. The study was published in November 2020 by the Journal Physical Review Letters. Their research might offer a new look to define physics and how more complicated factors of physics work out.

What did the scientists find?

According to msn.com, a team of scientists from NASA studied the earliest light emitted after this universe was born just right after the big bang. They tried to understand more deeply the light rays' polarisation from the past and tried to imagine how space looked at the start.

Their study offered some interesting facts. They found that the polarisation or orientation of the light particles, called the photons, might have been different in the universe's initial days. Probably the photons were a little rotated from their usual orientation when the light was first produced.

The team of scientists deduced that dark matter or dark energy is the reason behind such different polarisation of the lights when the big bang happened. According to space.com, dark matter is a hypothetical existence that has made nearly 85 per cent of the whole universe and is thought to be non-baryonic and is composed of some undetected subatomic particles. Dark energy is the hypothetical force that is made from dark matter. This dark energy drives the universe and the galaxies like the milky way apart with time, and the universe is expanding gradually. Author Yoto Minami, a physicist at the IPNS section of NASA, offered this opinion.

The unique nature of these twisted light particles does not go along with the physical phenomenon called parity. According to livescience.com, symmetry or parity is a phenomenon that tells everything, behaves, and looks similarly even in a flipped system. This parity is present in all kinds of atomic and subatomic particles. The only exception is the weak force. As per an article on weak force, it is one of the four fundamental forces existing in this universe, and it has a vital role in causing decay in matter or things.

The authors have reported that their findings are 99.2 per cent correct. But, to get absolute proof, they need 99.99995 per cent confidence. If this report is proven right, the scientist will find a new approach towards physics and astrophysics, and this can offer them more details about space and our galaxy, the milky way.
