New research suggests our universe could be a black hole

Recent research has raised intriguing possibilities regarding the structure of our universe, suggesting we may exist within a black hole. Data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey revealed that a significant majority of galaxies rotate in the same direction. This finding contradicts the previously held belief that galaxy rotation is random. According to Lior Shamir, a computer science professor at Kansas State University, this phenomenon implies that the universe might have been born with a rotational motion, aligning with black hole cosmology theories. The theory of black hole cosmology proposes that our entire universe could exist inside a black hole that originated in a much larger parent universe. This concept has been considered for decades, and it posits that the event horizon of a black hole serves as the boundary for what we can observe in the universe. Consequently, every black hole in our universe could be seen as a portal to another 'baby universe', which is beyond our observational capabilities due to being behind an event horizon. Shamir elaborated that if the universe was indeed born rotating, it would indicate that current cosmological models are incomplete. This would lead to a reevaluation of many established theories, as the idea challenges foundational notions of cosmic randomness. Simultaneously, another possible explanation for the observed rotational bias of galaxies is that the gravitational effects of the Milky Way may be skewing measurements. As researchers continue to explore these findings, the implications for scientific understanding of the cosmos remain significant. The recalibration of distance measurements in cosmology could provide answers to various unsolved questions, ultimately refining our understanding of the universe's structure and evolution.
