Abstract
This
paper proposes a conceptual model—the Taiji Brane Multiverse—to address
the long-standing cosmological problem of matter-antimatter asymmetry.
The model draws deep philosophical inspiration from the Taiji Diagram (太极图), an
emblem famously adopted by quantum mechanics pioneer Niels Bohr to
represent his Complementarity Principle. Unlike standard Big Bang theory, which
assumes a uniform, mixed early universe, this model posits a fundamental bipartite
separation of the cosmos from its inception, reflecting the duality of the
Taiji Diagram. We examine two distinct mechanisms for maintaining this
separation: Static Isolation (analogous to the two sides of a sheet of
paper) and Dynamic Repulsion (analogous to magnetic poles). This
fundamental initial separation elegantly solves the asymmetry problem by
preventing large-scale annihilation, thus challenging the necessity of complex
CP violation mechanisms to explain the survival of matter.
1.
Introduction: The Problem of Asymmetry and Philosophical Antecedents
The
fundamental laws of particle physics dictate that the Big Bang should have
produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter. However, the universe we
observe is almost exclusively composed of matter. This matter excess is
quantified by the Baryon-to-Photon Ratio (BPR) of approximately 1 in 10^9.
Current physical explanations rely on the Sakharov conditions, primarily
CP (charge-parity) violation, which are necessary but currently insufficient to
account for the observed cosmological asymmetry.
Historically,
the concept of duality has been a profound source of insight in physics.
Quantum mechanics pioneer Niels Bohr was inspired by the Taiji Diagram
to establish his Complementarity Principle, which became the theoretical
cornerstone of quantum mechanics. He incorporated the Taiji Diagram into his
family crest, beneath which lay the Latin motto: Contraria sunt complementa,
meaning “Opposites are complementary.” This highlights the core of his
principle—that phenomena (such as the wave and particle aspects of light) are
mutually exclusive yet equally necessary for a complete description of reality.
Drawing
upon this historical and philosophical precedent, this paper presents a
conceptual framework that reinterprets the Taiji duality as a physical
spatial separation on a cosmic scale, thereby offering a structural
revision to the universe's initial conditions to solve the asymmetry problem.

The Taiji Brane Model: Bipartite Separation
The
core of the model lies in the philosophical interpretation of the Taiji
Diagram as the universe's ultimate, stable, and separated structure,
rather than a state of continuous mixing.
- The Yin-Yang Hotpot
Analogy (鸳鸯火锅):
The divided Chinese hotpot—where two distinct broths are contained within
a single vessel but separated by a rigid barrier—serves as the model’s
guiding analogy. This illustrates the central physical premise: the two
cosmic constituents are prevented from mixing, thus stopping cosmic-scale
annihilation.
In
the physical context of Brane Cosmology, our universe is considered a D-brane
(3+1 dimensional spacetime) embedded in a higher-dimensional bulk space.
- The Matter Brane (Yang):
Our conventional universe, confining all known matter and gauge forces.
- The Antimatter Brane
(Yin): A parallel D-brane containing an equivalent amount of
antimatter.
We
propose two distinct mechanisms for maintaining this separation:
2.1
Separation Mechanism I: Static Isolation (The Paper Model)
This
model posits that the separation is due to a fixed, static geometry of
the high-dimensional bulk space, analogous to the two sides of a sheet of
paper.
- Mechanism: The two
branes are fundamentally confined to two distinct, non-communicating
regions of the bulk space by the passive, stable configuration of the
extra dimensions.
- Stability: Stability
is maintained passively, requiring no active, continuous force.
- Assessment: This
model is highly parsimonious (simple) as it does not introduce a
new fundamental force, but it is also difficult to test as it does
not inherently produce observable effects in our brane.
2.2
Separation Mechanism II: Dynamic Repulsion (The Magnetic Pole Model)
This
model refines the separation by proposing an active, repulsive force
that dynamically maintains the distance between the two universes, analogous to
two magnetic like-poles pushing each other away.
- Mechanism: A new,
unknown fundamental force or field exists in the bulk space. This force
couples oppositely to the matter and antimatter content of the two branes,
generating a powerful, constant repulsive pressure between them.
- Stability: Stability
is maintained actively by this continuous cosmological repulsion.
- Assessment: This
model is highly actionable as it suggests a new fundamental force,
potentially offering a physical explanation for phenomena like Dark Energy
or providing subtle, testable gravitational signatures due to the
brane-to-brane interaction.
3.
Implications for Asymmetry and Annihilation
The Taiji
Brane Multiverse model provides an elegant, unified resolution to the
matter asymmetry puzzle:
- Initial Condition:
The universe begins with perfect symmetry in quantity but perfect asymmetry
in location.
- No Mass Annihilation:
Since the two branes are fundamentally separated, the matter and
antimatter particles produced during the Big Bang cannot cross the
boundary to initiate large-scale mutual annihilation. The observed matter
universe is simply the entire content of the Matter Brane.
- Gamma Ray Evidence:
The model naturally explains the lack of observable, large-scale gamma
ray annihilation radiation in the cosmos, as there is no vast region
where matter and antimatter meet.
4.
Limitations and Experimental Outlook
The
model requires rigorous mathematical development to gain acceptance. The most
promising avenue for validation lies in the search for minute gravitational
effects of the Antiparticle Brane. High-precision measurements of gravitational
waves or cosmological parameters could potentially reveal the influence of the
repulsive mechanism (Mechanism II).
5.
Conclusion
The Taiji
Brane Multiverse model offers a powerful conceptual alternative to current
cosmological theory. By grounding the principle of duality in a macro-cosmic, spatially
separated structure, the model elegantly resolves the matter-antimatter
asymmetry by asserting that the imbalance is a result of physical location
rather than an internal particle process. The unique philosophical fusion of
the Taiji Diagram with modern brane theory makes this concept a valuable
starting point for future theoretical exploration.

摘要
本报告提出了一个概念模型——太极膜宇宙——用以解决长期存在的宇宙学难题：正反物质不对称性。该模型从太极图（Taiji
Diagram）中汲取了深刻的哲学灵感，太极图是量子力学先驱尼尔斯·玻尔（Niels Bohr）为代表其互补原理而著名的徽章。与假设早期宇宙均匀混合的标准大爆炸理论不同，本模型假定宇宙从一开始就存在一个基本的二元分离结构，这反映了太极图的对立统一性。我们探讨了维持这种分离的两种截然不同的机制：静态隔离（类似于一张白纸的两面）和动态排斥（类似于磁铁的同极）。这种根本性的初始分离，通过防止大规模湮灭，优雅地解决了不对称性问题，从而挑战了复杂 CP 破坏机制来解释物质存活的必要性。
1. 引言：不对称性问题与哲学先例
基本粒子物理学定律预测，宇宙大爆炸应该产生了等量的物质和反物质。然而，我们观测到的宇宙几乎完全由物质构成。这种物质过剩通过重子-光子比（BPR）来量化，约为 1 比 10^9。当前的物理学解释依赖于萨哈罗夫条件，主要是 CP（电荷-宇称）破坏，这是必要的，但目前不足以解释观测到的宇宙不对称性规模。
历史上，二元性概念一直是物理学中深刻洞察力的来源。量子力学先驱尼尔斯·玻尔受到太极图的启发创立了他的互补原理，该原理成为了量子力学的理论基石。他将太极图融入了他的家族徽章，徽章下的拉丁文箴言是：“Contraria sunt complementa”，意为“对立面是互补的”。这正是他的互补原理的核心——现象（例如光的波动性和粒子性）是相互排斥的，但对于完整描述现实而言又同样必要。
借鉴这一历史和哲学先例，本报告提出了一个概念框架，将太极的二元性重新解读为宇宙尺度上的物理空间分离，从而对宇宙的初始条件提出了结构性修订，以解决不对称性问题。
2. 太极膜宇宙模型：二元分离
该模型的核心在于将太极图解读为宇宙终极的、稳定的、分离的结构的哲学解释，而非持续混合的状态。
- 鸳鸯火锅类比： 中国的鸳鸯火锅（锅中包含两种不同但被坚固屏障隔开的汤底）作为本模型的指导性类比。这说明了核心物理前提：两种宇宙成分被阻止混合，从而阻止了宇宙尺度上的湮灭。
在膜宇宙论的物理背景下，我们的宇宙被视为嵌入更高维度体空间（bulk
space）中的一张 D 膜（3+1 维时空）。
- 物质膜（阳）： 我们常规的宇宙，限制了所有已知物质和规范力。
- 反物质膜（阴）： 一张平行的 D 膜，包含等量的反物质。
我们提出了维持这种分离的两种不同机制：
2.1 分离机制 I：静态隔离（白纸模型）
该模型假设分离是由于高维体空间的固定、静态几何结构决定的，类似于一张白纸的两面。
- 机制： 两张膜本质上被额外维度的被动、稳定配置限制在体空间的两个不同、不相通的区域。
- 稳定性： 稳定性被动维持，不需要任何主动、持续的作用力。
- 评估： 该模型具有高度的简洁性（parsimonious），因为它没有引入新的基本作用力，但由于它本质上不会在我们这张膜上产生可观测效应，因此也难以测试。
2.2 分离机制 II：动态排斥（磁铁两极模型）
该模型通过提出一种主动的、排斥性的作用力来完善分离，该力动态地维持两个宇宙之间的距离，类似于两个磁铁同极相互排斥。
- 机制： 在体空间中存在一种新的、未知的基本力或场。这种力与两张膜上的物质和反物质内容产生相反的耦合，在它们之间产生强大、恒定的排斥压力。
- 稳定性： 稳定性由这种持续的宇宙学排斥力主动维持。
- 评估： 该模型具有高度的可操作性（actionable），因为它暗示了一种新的基本力，可能为诸如暗能量等现象提供物理学解释，或由于膜间相互作用而提供细微的、可检验的引力特征。
3. 对不对称性与湮灭的意义
太极膜宇宙模型为物质不对称性提供了一个优雅、统一的解决方案：
- 初始条件： 宇宙始于数量上完美对称，但在位置上完美不对称的状态。
- 无大规模湮灭： 由于两张膜从根本上是分离的，大爆炸中产生的物质和反物质粒子无法跨越边界引发大规模相互湮灭。观测到的物质宇宙就是物质膜的全部内容。
- 伽马射线证据： 该模型自然地解释了宇宙中缺乏可观测的、大规模伽马射线湮灭辐射，因为没有物质和反物质相遇的巨大区域。
4. 局限性与实验前景
该模型需要严格的数学发展才能获得认可。最有希望的验证途径在于寻找反粒子膜的微小引力效应。对引力波或宇宙学参数进行高精度测量，可能会揭示排斥机制（机制 II）的影响。
5. 结论
太极膜宇宙模型及其提出的两种分离机制，为当前的宇宙学理论提供了一个强大的概念替代方案。通过将二元性原理扎根于宏观的、空间分离的结构中，该模型通过断言不对称性是物理位置的结果而非内部粒子过程的结果，优雅地解决了正反物质不对称性问题。太极图与现代膜理论的独特哲学融合，使这一概念成为未来理论探索的宝贵起点。
