Cosmology hypothesis suggests universe may exist inside a black hole
A cosmological hypothesis suggests that our universe might exist inside a black hole located within a larger ‘parent’ universe. This theory, proposed by physicist Nikodem Poplawski of the University of New Haven, is being revisited due to observed asymmetries in galaxy rotation.
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope indicates a significant pattern: in a sample of 263 galaxies analyzed by Lior Shamir of Kansas State University, approximately two-thirds rotate in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from Earth. This contradicts the expectation that galaxy rotation should be randomly distributed between clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.
While the pattern is visible in telescope imagery, researchers note that a visible pattern does not yet provide a confirmed explanation. One possibility being considered is that the universe was born with a rotational motion, though the hypothesis remains theoretical and lacks experimental confirmation.
