Abstract We have developed the theory of Clifford reflections and extended spacetime inversions. This extended spacetime has two additional dimensions associated with the presence of internal degrees of freedom of spinors. Inversions C, P, and T contain not only reflections of the basis Clifford vectors and transformations of basis spinors, but also transformations of the components of vector and spinor quantities. The research is carried out on the basis of algebraic quantum field theory using the superalgebraic representation of spinors as well as the 8-component matrix representation of spinors. We have proved that due to the presence of internal degrees of freedom of spinors, there are two vacua, the vacuum of our Universe and an alternative vacuum. The inversion operators C and T transform the vacuum into an alternative one, and therefore cannot be operators of the exact symmetry of our Universe.
