A groundbreaking new concept has emerged, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of the universe's origins. This theory, developed by a team of researchers led by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga from the Portsmuth University, proposes a radical new perspective on how the cosmos came to be. This theory challenges existing models and opens up new avenues for exploration.
The "Black Hole Universe" theory suggests that the universe did not originate from a singular event, but rather through the process of gravitational collapse of matter. Scientists hypothesize that the universe may have formed from the collapse of matter into a black hole, which then expanded to create our cosmos.
Professor Gaztañaga's model offers a significant departure from the standard model, potentially eliminating the need for hypothetical "dark energy." A key difference from the standard model is the prediction of slightly less smooth space.
The core prediction of the theory—the prediction of slightly less smooth space—can be tested using the James Webb Space Telescope. If observations confirm the theory, it would be a major breakthrough in our understanding of the universe. The implications of this theory are far-reaching, potentially reshaping our comprehension of the universe's structure.
The researchers point out weaknesses in the current model, including the need to introduce hypothetical dark energy and the problem of the infinite density of the singularity. The new theory is based on the principles of quantum physics, which govern the behavior of matter at the smallest scales. The new theory offers a solution to these problems, offering a more complete and accurate picture of the cosmos.
The theory leads to surprising conclusions:
- Our universe may be inside a black hole.
- This black hole, in turn, may be part of a larger universe.
- There may be an infinite nesting of structures.
The researchers also point out the weaknesses of the standard model of the Big Bang:
1. The need to introduce hypothetical dark energy.
2. The problem of the infinite density of the singularity.
3. Difficulties in explaining the two phases of expansion.
The new theory is based on the principles of quantum physics, which govern the behavior of matter at the smallest scales. The new theory offers a solution to these problems, offering a more complete and accurate picture of the cosmos.
Future missions, including the Euclid and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, will be crucial in verifying the predictions of the new theory. Special attention will be paid to measuring the curvature of space and studying the distribution of relic radiation.
If the theory is confirmed, it will change our understanding of the place of humanity in the Universe. As Professor Gaztañaga notes: "We are not unique, but only a part of a larger system."
In conclusion, the new concept of the origin of the Universe challenges existing representations and opens new directions for research. Whether it will be confirmed in the end, we will know soon, and our understanding of the cosmos will continue to develop, offering more complex and surprising models of the world.
