A recent study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society suggests that our universe may be inside a black hole. The research, led by Kansas State University astronomer Lior Shamir, analyzed 263 galaxies from the Webb telescope’s Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey and found that most galaxies rotate in the same direction. This observation contradicts the existing cosmological model, called Lambda CDM.
According to Shamir, about two-thirds of the galaxies studied rotated clockwise, while just a third spun in the opposite direction. The team believes that this uneven split could be evidence that our universe resides within a black hole, as some theoretical black holes are thought to rotate in one direction and remain static for an outside observer.
While this idea is not new, the study provides another line of evidence supporting the multiverse concept. However, it’s also possible that the Milky Way’s own rotational velocity affected the team’s measurements, which could be clarified with further observations.
The Webb telescope’s Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey will continue to yield more insights into the distant cosmos, potentially revealing even more mysteries about our universe and its place in the larger scheme of things.
