The strong CP problem—why the universe isn't symmetric between matter and antimatter—might be solved by a heavy axion emerging from a hidden "mirror" copy of the universe that confines at a specific scale. Unlike standard axion solutions, this approach avoids fine-tuning and produces measurable signatures in electric dipole moment experiments.
