Maybe the neutrinos went back to turn off the iron

https://www.dailywire.com/news/bizzaro-world-nasa-scientists-detect-evidence-of-parallel-universe-where-time-runs-backward

The short version of this article is that, because some particles are moving in the opposite direction from what is expected, they must have come from a parallel universe in which time runs in the opposite direction. My question is, if these particles are detectable in our universe, doesn't that mean they exist in this universe, rather than another?

Not necessarily.

Depending on how exactly the theor9barrier between universes would behave, either we could detect stuff on the other side of it, or stuff over there could effect stuff over here in detectable ways.

Or there could be another reason for high energy particles to act differently then expected.  Quantum physics gets weird fast.  Parallel universe running "opposite " of ours is probably one of the easier to comprehend causes for the observed behavior.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Hmmm . . . if time runs backwards in that other universe, apples would rise from the ground and attach themselves to trees . . .

Birds would fly backwards . . .

And I don't even want to think about what a trip to the bathroom would entail    :O

Merlin supposedly came from a realm where time operated backwards, and he could see what has been, in the future.  Fictional character, but fun concept.

I think you caught it there.  They just don't know.  I am doubtful we are seeing parallel universe stuff but who knows.  "It's The Aliens" starts looking like a more credible explanation.  

Even if the parallel universe part is correct, if time was running backward from the same starting point, it wouldn't be what most people visualize.  And it may just be certain things move in the opposite direction or has something to do with how the universes are separated.

Study Suggests Fundamental Laws of Nature Change Throughout the Universe

Here is another one I thought was interesting.  Especially when he gets into patterns in the layout of the known universe.

That kind of thing is what I always think of when scientists start extrapolating "habitable" planets and other types of data from the minuscule perspective we have from observing stars.

Our knowledge of how the universe works has data from the perspective of exactly ONE tiny planet. We're doing a lot of assuming based on that one data point. (And as we get more information and maybe even a colony on Mars, we can have TWO tiny planets.... around one average star.)

You wouldn't know time was running backwards.  You're just moving forward in the other direction.  "Backwards" is just how it would look to an observer from this universe.  Maybe we're the ones stuck in reverse; either viewpoint is valid.

IMO, if it were a parallel universe, it could simply be like a planet orbiting in the opposite direction.  Things are "normal" there, but everything moves opposite from ours.  Maybe if we could visit and come back, we would come back before we left.

"Time running backwards" could be something as simple as everything in that universe tending towards order and structure rather than  entropy.

Who knows what something that fundamentally different would look like.

In the backwards universe, ALL blondes are smart and wise (but not AOC, she isn't blonde there either).

Speaking of perspective, this video came out recently:

Apparently, better infrared telescopes are finding a lot more brown dwarf stars (quite a few it appears) and some are more like rogue planets.

Here is one from a different outfit talking about the structure of the universe.  Very interesting if you can get over the sheer scale of it all.
