What would be the effect of a small amount of mirror matter in our

Let's say our solar system drifted through a large cloud of mirror
hydrogen
from a mirror star supernova, which contained some heavier
molecules. Would
some of it become intermixed ?
Yes and no. If the mirror matter has ordinary (positive)
gravitational charge, i.e. attracts with ordinary matter as is
conventionally believed, then yes. If the mirror matter has negative
gravitational charge, as defined as "cosmic matter" in the "Searching
for Cosmic Matter" article here:
http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/CosmicSearch.pdf
then it is unlikely we would drift through such a cloud because it
would be repelled by our galaxy and solar system. However, even
better, if negative gravitational charge mirror matter, cosmic
matter, exists as described my article above, then the black holes in
the center of our galaxy are manufacturing the stuff, and we are
bathed in a constant flow of it as it moves outward from the center
of the galaxy, forming a galactic halo, and thus beautifully
accounting for the unusual momentum behavior of the galactic arms as
described precisely by the MOND equation, as described on page 10.
Mirror and ordinary photons couple with on the order of 5x10-9 times
the charge of an electron. I also point out that gravimagnetic spin
coupling will bond particles. This coupling, especially virtual
photon coupling, results in the ability of mirror nuclei to weakly
couple to ordinary matter nuclei, creating what I called meta-
matter. There may be some heavy atoms that show up in the mass
spectra of matter that has been exposed to mirror matter, but
typically electrostatic accelerations will separate the nuclei.
Their coupling is weak enough that supercentrifuges should be able to
do the mass separation. We might be able to see energetic mirror
matter using a graviphoton telescope. By symmetry, I showed
graviphotons should weakly couple to the electromagnetic force.
Magnetic lenses can thus be used to build a graviphoton telescope
which would permit viewing of this alternate universe about us.
The "Searching for Cosmic Matter" article was written as a stand-
alone article, so much of it is a review of gravimagnetics. However,
I get down to some practical means to look for mirror matter here on
earth, on page 25 ff of the above article. I mention a sea water
search method for cosmic mater on page 30. A substantial proportion
of mirror matter in a mass sample will result in spontaneous cooling
of the matter due to black body mirror photon radiation. Therefore,
an IR camera provides a means to look for high density mirror matter
geological samples.
Cosmic matter, if it exists, arrives here as comic rays. About 90
percent of cosmic rays are hydrogen, i.e. protons, but they impact
atmospheric molecules and cause a shower of particles, including
gammas, neutrons, kaons, pions and mesons. It is necessary that the
mirror charge is preserved in one particle type or another in the
process, unless a mirror matter anti-particle is miraculously struck
and annihilation occurs, and the most likely detectable surviving
final cosmic product is the cosmic hydrogen atom or a cosmic proton
bound into meta-matter. The sun captures cosmic rays and transforms
their energy into thermal energy. It can therefore be assumed that,
if cosmic rays contain cosmic matter, that the solar wind itself
carries a proportion of cosmic matter outward from the sun.
If even a microscopic amount of meta-matter could be isolated, then
it would be possible to build the equivalent of a mirror photon CCD.
Mounted on a telescope, we could see not only the mirror universe,
but all the major mirror matter deposits on earth, even by looking
directly through the earth. In addition to the science bonanza, such
a device would open up vast new technologies, like heavy earth to
orbit or earth to moon lifters. This is the ultimate prospector's
dream - vastly more valuable than diamonds or gold.
If you have an interest in mirror matter then I recommend Robert
Foot's book "Shadowlands, Quest for Mirror Matter in the Universe",
Universal Publishers, paperback ISBN: 1-58112-645-X. There are lots
of other books on "mirror matter", but they are merely about anti-
matter, which is another thing entirely.
There is the Wiki site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter
... which deals with the cosmological aspects but I am thinking
more of the
practical implications of MM being here already, not out there.
Could a few
ppm of mirror water exist in the oceans?
I don't know about the proportions. Cosmic matter in gas or vapor
form tend to rise and eventually ionize out of the atmosphere.
Positive gravitational charge mirror matter would tend to concentrate
deep in the ocean, but might be found in halocline upwellings. There
may be very high geological concentrations of mirror matter at major
meteorite hits where no trace of meteorite remains. A mirror matter
hit could be mistaken for a comet hit. Tunguska may be a candidate
site for example.
