What would you expect to find in a reverse universe?

I need this info to determine if we are the reverse universe or not.

e.g. insurance rates would go down logically as your house and car get older.

Do organisms hang onto trees to avoid being sucked into the 'real" universe?

Are those trees growing rootside up like our reverse tomato plants?

Would it have "white bumps" where everything is expelled including light?

Maybe the weekend would be five days a week in the work week, two days a week. In such a superior universe.

I have had this idea for several decades. Not about the corn on the cob, just the opposite universe. I suppose there are several million others in that same boat
