    "abstract": "Negative solutions are possible for Einstein\u0027s Special Relativity equation,\nas well as Dirac\u0027s, Maxwell\u0027s, and Schrodinger\u0027s equations; and Schrodinger\u0027s\nequation utilizes antitime to calculate quantum probabilities. Also, since no\nground state seems to exist for matter, Dirac predicted that negative matter\nmust exist to keep all of matter from disappearing into negative energy states.\nAnd Einstein showed that all things are relative except the speed of light.\nTogether, these imply that 4 negative dimensions (Ds) are overlapped by the 4\npositive Ds; that positive and negative matters reside in these 2 separate sets\nof Ds; and that their separateness prevents their mutual annihilation. Light\nwould then exist as an oscillation of the interface between these 2 sets of Ds,\nwith the 2 relative matters varying equally on each side; thus allowing light\nto remain constant. And since 2 negatives make a positive, the 2 sets would\nmove as one, even though they are opposites. This means that the 2 sets always\nremain exactly overlapped; and so, the negative Ds remain disguised. Our\nuniverse therefore could be a dual universe. Also, 8+2 Ds makes a total of 10\nDs; 4x4=16 interactions, and 10+16 = 26. So our 4 D world could act as a 10/26\nD world; which matches the 2 sets within which string theory is self-\nconsistent. And this is why N =10. Also, an initial matter singularity would be\nbalanced by antimatter being infinitely spread out at the opposite end of time;\nso a dual universe would allow an initial singularity to exist with both a\nknown position and momentum, without violating quantum mechanics. And since a\ndual universe having two equal sets of Ds and matter would always be exactly\nbalanced; a dual universe would be extremely stable all thorough its existence.\nAnd this means that our universe is likely to be a dual universe.",
