Our universe at home within a larger universe?

Could our universe be located within the interior of a wormhole which itself is part of a black hole that lies within a much larger universe?


"This condition would be satisfied if our universe were the interior of a black hole existing in a bigger universe," he said. "Because Einstein's general theory of relativity does not choose a time orientation, if a black hole can form from the gravitational collapse of matter through an event horizon in the future then the reverse process is also possible. Such a process would describe an exploding white hole: matter emerging from an event horizon in the past, like the expanding universe."


Einstein-Rosen bridges like the one visualized above have never been observed in nature, but they provide theoretical physicists and cosmologists with solutions in general relativity by combining models of black holes and white holes.

A white hole is connected to a black hole by an Einstein-Rosen bridge (wormhole) and is hypothetically the time reversal of a black hole. Poplawski's paper suggests that all astrophysical black holes, not just Schwarzschild and Einstein-Rosen black holes, may have Einstein-Rosen bridges, each with a new universe inside that formed simultaneously with the black hole.

"From that it follows that our universe could have itself formed from inside a black hole existing inside another universe," he said.

There is one thing I can say about theoretical physicist, is job security.  The more question they ask the more problems they find.

  Some of these guy came up with "String Theory" but it losing creditability among these brains.  We could easily say it's just God.  I think there is one whole lot things, that men and their knowledge will never know.  Bother me, no.  The universe is billion and billion of years old and the whole life of earth is smaller in time than it takes a blink of an eye.

Yes dear, this could drive me insane.  I also get headaches trying to envision 'infinity'.  LOL
