The Big Bang Was Wrong - We live Inside A BLACK HOLE!

"So, it tells us that within a black hole a whole new space-time can open up in the future history of this universe".

The general idea is that our universe came into existence some 13.8 billion years ago and that it all started with the big bang. Eventually the universe began expanding, galaxies were formed stars were born and planets came into existence. In one of those galaxies the Milky Way life came into existence. This life has now evolved to the point where it began to wonder about the origins of life and its place in the universe.

What if everything we know about the universe is wrong, what if the Big Bang isn't the beginning of the universe and what if what we see inside our Cosmos is nothing other than the result of being inside a black hole that came into existence from some parent universe.

This unconventional Theory suggests that if black holes that form in our universe give birth to baby universes our Cosmos might be nothing other than the product of another black hole. But what is the reasoning behind this claim, What does it mean if we live inside a black hole

Join us as we dig into details of the latest theory that the Big Bang could be wrong and we might have been living inside a black hole all this time.

Let's rewind the clock before humans existed, before Earth formed before the sun ignited, before galaxies arose, before light could even shine there was the Big Bang.

This happened 13.8 billion years ago, but what about before that many physicists say there is no before that time began ticking they insist at the instant of the big bang and pondering anything earlier isn't in the realm of science, We'll never understand what pre-big bang reality was like or what it was formed of or why it exploded to create our universe such Notions are Beyond human understanding.

But a few unconventional scientists disagree. These physicists theorize that a moment before the Big Bang all the mass and energy of the nascent Universe was compacted into an incredibly dense, yet finite spec let's call it the seed of a new universe.

This seed is thought to have been almost unimaginably tiny possibly trillions of times smaller than any particle humans have ever been able to observe, And yet it's a particle that can spark the production of every other particle. Not to mention every galaxy solar system planet and person. If you really want to call something the God particle this seems an ideal fit.

So how is such a seed created?

One idea bandied about for several years notably by Ncodem Poplowski of the University of New Haven is that the seed of our universe was forged in the ultimate Kiln.

Likely the most extreme environment in all of nature inside a black hole. It's important to know before we go further that over the last couple of decades many theoretical physicists have come to believe that our universe is not the only one.

Instead we may be part of the Multiverse an immense array of separate universes each its own shining orb in the true night sky, that led to another related idea made famous by Stephen Hawking, That each time we create a black hole in our universe it could give rise to a baby universe that's only accessible to an observer that crosses inside that black holes event Horizon.

Could our universe then actually have been spawned by a black hole that was created in some sort of grandparent universe? and do we give birth to a new universe each time a new black hole is created? But what is the reasoning Behind These theories?,

Well it's actually fascinating the defining feature of a black hole is the existence of an event horizon, a boundary that tells a very different story for an object outside of it versus one inside of it, Outside of a black holes Event Horizon any object will experience its gravitational effects as the space will be curved by the black hole's presence, But it can still Escape if it moves fast enough or accelerates quickly enough in the proper direction it won't necessarily fall into the black hole, But it could break free of the black holes gravitational influence.

Once an object crosses over to the other side of the Event Horizon however it's immediately doomed to be subsumed into the black holes Central singularity. Because the fabric of space-time is severely curved inside a black hole an in-falling object will reach the singularity within seconds of crossing the Event Horizon, Growing the black hole's mass in the process to someone located outside the Event Horizon the black hole appears to form gain mass and grow over time.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH OUR UNIVERSE, THOUGH?

If you were to take all of the known measurable forms of matter and radiation in the observable universe you'd have to add up all of the following;

Normal matter: Made from protons neutrons and electrons.

Neutrinos: Ghostly fundamental particles that rarely interact with normal matter.

Dark matter: Which dominates the universe's Mass but has so far eluded direct detection efforts.

Photons or particles of Light: Which carry energy from every electromagnetic event throughout Cosmic history.

And Gravitational waves: Which are created every time a mass moves and accelerates through the curved fabric of space-time.

At the farthest limits of what our instruments can possibly detect we can see up to about 46 billion light years away in all directions. If you add up all the energy from all of these forms throughout the entire observable universe you can arrive at an equivalent mass for the universe using Einstein's most famous relation (E=MC2)

Then if you'd like you can ask a rather profound question if the entire universe were compressed into a single point what would happen. The answer is the same as it would be if you compressed any large enough collection of mass or energy into a single point it would form a black hole, what's remarkable about Einstein's theory of gravity is that if this collection of mass and or energy isn't charged electrically and isn't rotating or spinning without angular momentum the total amount of mass is the only factor that determines how large the black hole is, what astrophysicists call a shorts child radius.

Remarkably the shorts child radius of a black hole with the mass of all the matter in the observable universe is almost exactly equal to the observable size of the visible universe, that realization on its own seems like a remarkable coincidence raising the question of whether our universe might actually somehow be the interior of a black hole.

BUT THAT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY

As we dive deeper things get even more interesting. In the mid-1960s a discovery revolutionized our concept of the universe: a uniform, omnidirectional bath of low-energy radiation appeared from all locations in the sky. This radiation had the same temperature in all directions now determined to be 2.725 K, just a few degrees above absolute zero the radiation had a particularly perfect black body Spectrum as though it had a hot thermal origin and appeared identical to within one part and thirty thousand no matter where you looked in the sky.

This radiation, originally called the Primeval Fireball and now known as The Cosmic microwave background represented critical evidence that our universe is expanding and cooling because it was hotter and denser in the past.

The farther back we extrapolate the smaller more uniform and more compact things were, going all the way back this picture of the hot big bang appears to approach a singularity the same condition found at the central Interiors of black holes a location where densities temperatures and energies are so extreme that the laws of physics themselves break down.

Something remarkable happens when you look at the equations that govern a black hole as well. If you start just outside the event Horizon and escape to an infinite distance away from the black hole, you'll find that your distance(r) goes from R, the Schwarzschild radius, to Infinity:∞. On the other hand, if you start just inside the Event Horizon and track your distance from the black hole to the central Singularity, you'll find that same distance ( r) instead goes from R, the Schwarzschild radius, to zero: 0

Big deal, right?

No it actually is a big deal for the following reason, if you examine all the properties of space outside of a black hole's Event Horizon from R to infinity and compare them to all the properties of space inside the black holes Event Horizon from R to zero, they are identical at every single point. All you have to do is replace the distance, r, with its reciprocal 1/ r (or, more accurately to replace all instances of r/R with R/r), and you'll find that the black hole's interior is mathematically identical to the black hole's exterior.

It's almost like taking a spherical orb that's 100% reflective-a perfect mirror- and noticing that the entirety of the universe that's located outside of that sphere is now contained albeit distorted in the mirror image that's reflected on the sphere's surface.

As our understanding of the universe has improved and been refined over the past few decades two new discoveries have rocked, the foundations of cosmology the first was Cosmic inflation instead of arising from a singularity it now appears that the Universe was set up by a rapid Relentless state of constant exponential expansion that preceded the hot big bang.

It's as though there were some sort of field that provided an energy inherent to space itself, causing the universe to inflate and only when inflation ended did the hot big bang begin.

The second was Dark Energy as the universe expands and becomes less dense distant galaxies start to recede from us at an accelerating rate, once again albeit with a much smaller magnitude the universe behaves as though there's some sort of energy inherent to space itself, Refusing to dilute even as the expansion of space continues.

People have speculated that there might be a connection for as long as inflation and dark energy have both been around. The fact that there's a fundamental difference between the expansion rate of the universe that you infer depending on which of the two classes of methods you use to measure it only strengthens that conjecture.

One potential explanation that stubbornly persists for reconciling this discrepancy is that there was a stronger form of dark energy early on: one that existed after the end of inflation but decayed away before the cosmic microwave background scattered off of the Primeval plasma for the final time. Perhaps inflation and dark energy have more in common than we realize, and perhaps black holes will provide a critical insight into the nature of that link.

WHAT MIGHT THAT CONNECTION BE?

Once again, black holes could be the answer, black holes gain mass as material falls into them and Decay losing mass via Hawking radiation, as the size of the Event Horizon changes is it possible that this changes the energy inherent to the fabric of space to an observer located inside the Event Horizon?,

Is it possible that what we perceive as Cosmic inflation marks the creation of our universe from an ultra massive black hole?

Is it possible that dark energy is somehow connected to black holes as well?

And does this mean that as astrophysical black holes have formed within our universe that each one gives rise to its own baby Universe somewhere inside of it?

These speculations have been around for many decades and although we lack a definitive or provable conclusion there are certainly some mathematically compelling pieces of evidence that suggest a link.

Nevertheless many models and ideas abound and this line of thought continues to be compelling to many who research black holes thermodynamics and entropy, general relativity as well as the beginning and end of the universe. Unfortunately every physical model put forth at least so far has failed to make unique predictions that can do the following three things.

1. Reproduce all the successes like the already observed phenomenon that the inflationary hop Big Bang has already successfully accounted for.

2. Explain and/or account for observed phenomena that the prevailing Theory cannot.

3. Make new predictions that differ from those predicted by the current leading model that we can then go out and test.

Perhaps the most famous attempt at this is Roger Penrose's conformal cyclic cosmology or (CCC), which does make a unique prediction that differs from the standard cosmological models: the existence of Hawking points or Circles of unusually low temperature variants in the cosmic microwave background. Unfortunately, these features do not robustly appear in the data, relegating the idea that our Universe was birthed from a black hole- and the idea that black holes give rise to Baby Universes-back to one that's purely speculative.

There's a lot to like about the idea and there's a connection between black holes in the birth of universes from both physical and mathematical points of view.

It's plausible that there's a connection between the birth of our universe and the creation of an extremely massive black hole from a universe that existed before our own, it's plausible that every black hole that's been created in our universe has given rise to a new universe within it.

Unfortunately what's missing is the key step of a uniquely identifiable signature that could tell us whether this is the case or not. That's one of the most difficult steps for any, theoretical physicist to determine the imprint of a new idea on our observable universe distinguishing that new idea from our old prevailing ones.

Until we successfully take that step work will likely continue on these ideas but they will only remain speculative hypotheses we don't know whether our universe was birthed by the creation of a black hole, but at this point it's a tantalizing possibility that we would be foolish to rule out.
