What if our universe is inside a black hole? A galaxies survey provides more evidence to the disturbing hypothesis

The cosmological principle establishes that, on a large scale, the matter is distributed evenly in all directions and that the universe looks equal to the reference point of the observer. However, a recent study found that the galaxies that revolve in the direction of the clock needles are more common than those that rotate in the opposite direction. This finding directly contradicts the idea of ​​a completely uniform universe, where the proportion of galaxies that revolve in both directions should be approximately the same.

Physicists who investigated this asymmetry in the rotation of visible galaxies have raised an intriguing explanation: the tendency to form clusters of stars that revolve in a storage I could suggest that the universe did not arise from a random explosion, but was born turning. Behavior is the watershed to bolder cosmological theories, such as the idea that the universe could be contained inside a gigantic black hole.

The study conducted by researchers from the University of Kansas, United States, was published in the magazine Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Using the James Webb space telescope, scientists implemented a survey to observe spiral galaxies close to the Milky Way. They identified 263 galaxies, of which two thirds rotated in the direction of the clock needles.

“It is not yet clear what causes this to happen. An explanation is that the universe was born turning. This hypothesis coincides with theories such as the cosmology of black holes, which proposes that the universe is the interior of a black hole. But if the universe really was born, this would imply that our current theories about the cosmos are incomplete,” said Lior Shamir, lead author of the study and member of the Department of Computer Sciences.

Cosmology of black holes

The hypothesis of the cosmology of black holes suggests that the gravitational collapse of a massive star can create a “bubble universe” inside, with own physical laws, instead of forming an infinitely dense uniqueness. This idea does not contradict the Big Bang theory, but proposes that this initial event could be equivalent to the subject crossing the event horizon of a black hole, the limit beyond which nothing can escape.

According to this speculative hypothesis, if someone managed to get out of this bubble universe, he would access a larger and more hierarchy. Similarly, entering another black hole inside our universe could lead to a smaller universe.

Of course, the idea is not even remotely confirmed. Even the observation of asymmetry in galactic rotations has been subject to debate during the last two decades. This new analysis of the University of Kansas brings a little more evidence to the hypothesis of the cosmology of black holes.

The author of the study also offers a less dramatic alternative explanation: apparent bias could be due to the movement of the earth around the Milky Way. As our galaxy also broken, the effect of Doppler displacement could cause the light of the clusters that revolve in a scribe direction or more detectable than that of the rest.
