    An international team of physicists, led by the University of Portsmouth, proposes that our universe did not originate from a "singularity" (a single point of infinite density) as suggested by the Big Bang. Instead, they suggest our universe formed inside a massive black hole. According to this theory, matter within a collapsing cloud reached a high-density state, but instead of collapsing into an infinite singularity, it "bounced back like a compressed spring" due to stored energy, creating our universe.

    Key aspects and implications of this "Black Hole Universe" theory include:

    • It suggests the universe's origin is not from nothing, but the continuation of a cosmic cycle.
    • The edge of our observable universe might be the event horizon of a larger "parent" black hole, implying other black holes could contain their own unseen universes, potentially connected by "wormholes."
    • It relies on quantum physics setting fundamental limits on how much matter can be compressed, preventing the infinite singularity predicted by classical physics, and thus allowing for the "bounce."
    • This new model may help explain various cosmic mysteries, such as the anomaly of galaxies' rotation, the origin of supermassive black holes, the nature of dark matter, and the formation and evolution of galaxies.
    The research was published in the journal Physical Review D.

    The fact that this information comes one day after @THE HCP has a colonoscopy is a coincidence, I am sure.

    It's hard to conceptualize the scales being considered here. Both size and time.

    First time I have ever heard Trump referred to as a"super massive black hole" (as opposed to a "super massive asshole"), but it fits.....

    I don't think it's worth worrying about a paper that only got a D.
    Maybe check with some of the brighter students and see what they think.
