Yeah, wow. That was great. His solution seems so simple and clears all the previous model's problems. I guess every black hole could contain its own universe

- NKosmatos 1y agoToo bad the author didn’t explain more the concept of the “parent” universe and how our own (contracting & expanding) universe got created. Nice things to read/consider/ponder late at night :-)
- alkyon 1y agoI would be surprised if the size doesn't matter in this case. On the one hand, tiny black holes tend to be rather short-lived. On the other, I suppose some threshold mass/energy is needed to generate a child universe that doesn't collapse immediately.
- raxxorraxor 1y agoIronically that was basically the first thought many had when it was clear we cannot explain what happens in the edge case of a singularity. It was always "perhaps another unsiverse or a way into a parallel one". It still leaves a lot of questions though, especially if you try to marry quantum mechanics to these makroscopic models. Where did the initial black hole come from and should a corresponsing anti matter black hole exist?
- oreilles 1y agoWell that's an indsight bias if I've seen one. This is the first time I ever read that the "bottom" of a black hole could be a entirely new universe. If there ever "always was" a common hypothesis, it was the wormhole.
- raxxorraxor 1y agoThere wasn't much substance to it back then, but the idea certainly had been circulated in context of singularities where physics break down. So hypothesis is probably an exaggeration.
