One CF joker may be mirror matter.
For those who haven't seen it, Wiki has a pretty good
entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter
...but it would be nice to reconcile mirror matter and
anti-matter elegantly,
There is nothing to reconcile. Mirror matter is a change of
handedness, that's all. Its existence is predicted by mirror
symmetry. Each (left handed) particle-antiparticle pair has a mirror
(right handed) particle-antiparticle pair. Except via the graviton,
mirror matter messenger particles don't interact with ordinary
particles, so it is invisible to our world except for a very weak
interactions due to photon-mirror photon. In my gravimagnetics paper
I predict that the mirror matter exhibits negative gravity, that it
carries negative gravitational charge. In other words, an exchange
of a (spin 2) graviton between mirror matter and normal matter
results in mutual repulsion. This implies then that ordinary black
holes spew forth mirror matter, created from the vacuum.
assuming that the two are not
mutually exclusive... Apparently Robert Forward did
not do this.
Forward was not aware of mirror matter at the time.
It would also be nice to reconcile the
Dirac epo field with mirror matter.
Done. See p 29-32 of:

Wonder if anyone
has considered the dimensional (fractal) angle?
I don' know about that, but my gravimagnetic fields and charges exist
in imaginary dimensions. Negative gravitational mass and positive
gravitational mass are both imaginary, while the charges and EM
fields of the same fermions carrying them are in real dimensions.
In response to the related question- Are mirror matter
particles related to supersymmetry "partner
particles"?
Not related. However, the need for supersymmetry is bypassed by my
gravimagnetism theory by combining gravitational and EM aspects in
particles, especially fermions, yet with separate messengers in
separate dimensions.
Robert Foot answered as follows: There's really no
relation. Mirror symmery is a different type of
symmetry to supersymmetry. The only similarity is that
both ideas require a "doubling" of the number of
elementary particles. (in mirror symmetry, the mirror
particles form an almost decoupled sector -- similar
to ordinary particles but where left and right are
interchanged).
Mirror symmetry is a discrete symmetry (i.e. not a
continuous symmetry), which allows this type of theory
to exhibit space-reflection as a symmetry, while
supersymmetry is nothing to do with space-reflection,
but is a continuous symmetry relating particles with
differenct spin: each ordinary particle has a
hypothetical superpartner. However supersymmetry must
be broken because if it was unbroken the SUSY
particles would have been discovered already).
Nevertheless, supersymmetry is very popular, but there
really is no evidence for it (despite multi-billion
dollar searches for it!!). It survives only because it
is popular. As you know, mirror symmetry is not so
popular but I like to think there is a lot of evidence
for it -- certainly more than for supersymmetry.
If I can give you an example: both theories claim to
provide an explanation for dark matter, but I would
argue that the mirror symmetry explanation is the more
natural. Why? Because it explains the basic properties
of dark matter. Mirror particles couple extremely
weakly to photons, so mirror matter is dark. mirror
atoms are also stable for the same reason that
ordinary ones are. In other words, with the one
hypothesis, mirror symmetry, one predicts the
existence of invisible stable matter in the Universe.
The abundance is not predicted.
Well - Foot is a bold one...and has put his best
theory Forward, so to speak.
