Changing the subject: Just making sure I understand this correctly - According to your theoretical research one of the conclusions would be that when we observe distant galaxies through telescopes there's a good chance that a significant percentage of them are composed entirely of mirror matter?
I just realized your above question may have a meaning that differs from my interpretation of it. I probably wrongly interpreted "a significant percentage of them are composed entirely of mirror matter" to mean that "a significant percentage of each of the observable galaxies is probably mirror matter", that is to say some significant percentage of every observable galaxy is probably mirror matter. A galaxy entirely comprised of mirror matter would not be observable except maybe through negative gravitational lensing. The interaction of highly energetic mirror matter and ordinary matter is visible on a galactic scale due to the very weak (primarily nuclear) coupling that exists between the two.
BTW, there are some spectacular galaxy photos located at: http://heritage.stsci.edu/gallery/gallery.html Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
