14 DAY TRIAL // The main implication of a new theoretical study is that our entire Universe may be nothing more than the content of a black hole existing in another Universe. According to its creator, the new theory follows logically form a minor alteration of the established theory of gravity.
The new idea was proposed by Indiana University physicist Nikodem Poplawski, who used this opportunity to provide some interesting insight into the nature of space and time, as well as their origin.
His work appears to suggest that the arrow of time our Cosmos currently acts under was inherited from the one belonging to the black hole that spawned it. Under this line of thought, it follows that a different Universe may exist within every black hole we detect.
Everything we see around us could neatly fit within a wormhole, a theoretical conduit produced by a black hole that connects two points of space by bending the fabric of space-time.
The expert derived his conclusions from an analysis he conducted on the the theoretical motion of particles, as they enter a black hole. The only difference is that he used a slightly-modified version of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Through this approach, the expert managed to show that it is possible for another Universe to exist within a black hole, which further implies that ours could be too.
“Maybe the huge black holes at the centre of the Milky Way and other galaxies are bridges to different Universes,” the expert argues in a paper published in the latest issue of the top scientific journal Physics Letters B.
In the journal entry, the physicist explains that he used the Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama (ECKS) theory of gravity to conduct the calculations. This helped him account for the angular momentum of particles as they were entering a black hole.
Then the next step, calculating a property of space-time called torsion, was easy. Torsion is believed to be a property of space-time that allows it to “repel” the force of gravity, Daily Galaxy reports.
Oddly enough, Poplawski's theory also eliminates the need for the theory of inflation. Rather than this phenomenon be responsible for the expansion of the Universe, it could be that torsion forced the Cosmos to grow.
