The moreStranger Thingsevolves , the more mysteries pop up about Hawkins , the experiments at Hawkins Lab , and the Upside Down and the monster live in it , and while season 4 answered some of the serial publication ’ handsome doubtfulness , there are still many more that need to be solved before the audience has to say goodbye to Hawkins and all its residents – and the most challenging and authoritative questions are all about the Upside Down .

8Who Created The Upside Down?
SinceStranger Thingsseason 1 , there have been various theories onwho created the Upside Down , the most pop one suggesting it was either Will Byers or Eleven , but time of year 4 revealed that the Upside Down has be since long before the event of the series . When Henry Creel arrived at the Upside Down , he depict it as “ a land unspoiled by mankind ” , and it was shown as a cragged and furrowed place , with a yellow - brown sky covered with dumb clouds . Henry also encountered small Demogorgons , as well as a living being swirling in the sky that he made into what ’s now cognize as the Mind Flayer . Dustin theorize that the Upside Down has existed for thousands if not millions of years , but how exactly it was created and who is responsible for for it remains unknown .
7Why Does The Upside Down Look Exactly Like Hawkins?
When the Upside Down was first see inStranger Thingsseason 1 , it was an precise copy of Hawkins , which made viewers believe that whatever happened in the human world and whatever changes were made to Hawkins were think over in the Upside Down , but time of year 4 also debunk this . As mentioned above , the Upside Down was desert when Henry Creel arrived , and it was just muckle and land covered in strange webs and more , butStranger Thingsseason 4 did n’t explain why and how this proportion end up front on the nose like Hawkins . It ’s likely that Vecna was the one who turned the Upside Down into a copy of Hawkins , but why would he copy a township that hurt him so much and how he managed to replicate every individual detail is ill-defined .
6Why Is The Upside Down A Copy Of 1983 Hawkins?
Another big reveal about the Upside Down inStranger Thingsseason 4 is that this dimension is freeze in time , on a very specific date . When Steve , Nancy , Robin , and Eddie entered the Upside Down , they went to Nancy ’s house in the other dimension to stock up on weapons , but when Nancy could n’t find any of her guns , she found her old diary and realizedthe Upside Down is frozen on November 6 , 1983 , the Clarence Day Will disappear in time of year 1 . It ’s believed this is the day the Upside Down is stop dead on because it ’s when Eleven unfold the logic gate in time of year 1 , but Eleven had previously opened a gate when she banish Henry and more gate were opened after season 1 , yet the Upside Down continues to be a copy of Hawkins on November 6 , 1983 .
5What’s Beyond Hawkins’ Limits In The Upside Down?
One of the biggest mysteries about the Upside Down is how wide it actually is . When Henry Creel was banished , the Upside Down was an extensive and deserted land , but what ’s known and seen so far of this proportion is that it ’s an alternate , darker , decaying version of Hawkins , and nothing has been shown beyond those limits . This raises the dubiousness of what ’s beyond Hawkins in the Upside Down and if it could be a copy of Earth rather than just of Hawkins , or even be a planet of its own , and it ’s somehow link to the human globe . If there are copies of other parts of the world in the Upside Down , that would also raise the question of who created those , as it ’s improbable Vecna ’s king could go that far .
4What’s Eleven’s Connection To The Upside Down?
The town of Hawkins and even Henry Creel himself would n’t roll in the hay about the Upside Down ’s existence if it was n’t for Eleven . It was young Eleven who managed to overpower Henry Creel at Hawkins Lab and cast out him to the Upside Down , though she was unaware of the creation of another property and did n’t ban him intentionally , and or else , this was a surprising display of her office . BeforeStranger Thingsseason 4 , Eleven was the only one able to open gates to the Upside Down ( as Vecna did so in time of year 4 bykilling teenagers across Hawkins ) , so all this propose that there ’s a connection between Eleven and the Upside Down , though why and how this happened is unknown .
3What Was The Egg Found In The Upside Down (& What Happened To It)?
One Upside Down mystery thatStranger Thingshas entirely forgotten about is the mysterious yellow eggs seen in season 1 . When Eleven first made contact with the Demogorgon as part of Dr. Brenner ’s experiments at Hawkins Lab , she see the creature feeding off a yellow egg , and day later , when Joyce and Hopper infix the Upside Down to take care for Will , Hopper came across a broken egg near Castle Byers , but it ’s unclear what came out from the testis . Stranger Thingshasn’t explicate what these eggs channel and their place in the Upside Down ’s environment , but it ’s believe they carry another type of monster yet to be introduce .
2What Is The Mind Flayer Made Of?
The Mind Flayer was introduced inStranger Thingsseason 2 , and it ’s a giant spider - like creature with control of the Upside Down through a psychical radio link , forming a hive nous with the Demogorgons , Demobats , and vine . Stranger Thingsseason 4 showed that the Mind Flayer as it ’s known did n’t exist in the Upside Down , and it was Henry Creel who made it into what it now is . Henry explained that among the many thing he found in the Upside Down was a living being made up of swirling , violent storm - like particles that he describe as the “ most sinful affair of all ” . Henry used his power to form a psychical connexion with this mass and form it into a jumbo spider - like brute , like one he once suppose when he was a child . It ’s unknown if this mass already possess consciousness before Henry took ascendency of it or if he was the one who brought it to life , and it ’s also nameless exactly what it is made of and what its place in the Upside Down ’s plant life and brute really is .
1Can The Upside Down Be Destroyed?
The Upside Down has become a character of its own inStranger Things , and its connexion to Vecna has made it even more dangerous , more so now that it ’s starting to take over Hawkins . One of the grownup question after the result of time of year 4 is if the Upside Down can be destroyed and if that can be achieved through Vecna ’s frustration given the psychical connecter between them . If that ’s not the case , the question would be what come about to the Upside Down after Vecna ’s death , as even if Eleven closes the gates for good , the other dimension would still be there , with Demogorgons and Demobats and possibly the Mind Flayer as well ( if it ’s not destroyed along with Vecna).Stranger Thingsonly has one more season to clear all these questions about the Upside Down and many others about Hawkins and the main characters , and hopefully , it will offer as many answer as possible without feeling overstuffed .
