Why is this theory simply ignored?

    Theory
In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of our universe originating from a black hole in another universe or being eternal and eventually creating another big bang. However, these ideas are not widely accepted as they lack evidence and cannot be tested.

When we 'look' at black holes, we see matter being sucked into it and compressed to an infinitely dense point, a singularity. Our universe was a singularity with temperature and density (maybe infinitely small volume is the correct phrase) going to infinity.

Why is the theory that our universe itself came from a black hole in another universe so easily dismissed? Or that our universe is eternal and soon enough a black hole will get so large it will create another big bang, spitting out all the matter it swallowed. I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but black holes eventually disperse, but the matter that it swallowed up is nowhere to be seen.

Is it stupid to suggest that maybe our universe was created when the matter from another universe was sucked into it? If not can you please explain why this theory either doesn't work or is proven to be false?

Thanks.

This is not a theory, it is a collection of words.
What can you calculate based on that "theory"? What does this "theory" predict? Are there any deviations from the usual models for the big bang? Is it easier than those models?

How would black holes in our universe have anything like "other universes" inside?

Or that our universe is eternal and soon enough a black hole will get so large it will create another big bang, spitting out all the matter it swallowed.
The big bang was not an explosion in space.There is a real hypothesis (not a theory) which sounds similar - Lee Smolin proposed it. It might be true, but we cannot test it.
 

1. Why is this theory being ignored by the scientific community?

There could be several reasons why a theory is being ignored by the scientific community. It could be because there is little or no evidence to support it, it goes against well-established scientific principles, or it has been repeatedly disproven by experiments.

2. Is it possible that the theory is being intentionally ignored or suppressed?

While there have been instances where certain theories have been suppressed or ignored by certain individuals or organizations, the scientific community as a whole values open-mindedness and critical thinking. Therefore, it is unlikely that a theory is being intentionally ignored without valid reasons.

3. How does the scientific community decide which theories to accept and which ones to ignore?

The scientific community follows a rigorous process of peer-review and replication of experiments to determine the validity of a theory. If a theory has been tested multiple times and produces consistent and reliable results, it is more likely to be accepted by the scientific community.

4. Can a theory be ignored but still be considered valid by some scientists?

Yes, it is possible for a theory to be ignored by the majority of the scientific community, but still be considered valid by a small group of scientists. This could be due to differences in interpretation of data or personal biases. However, for a theory to gain widespread acceptance, it must be supported by strong evidence and be able to withstand scrutiny from the scientific community.

5. What can be done if a theory is being ignored but the evidence supporting it is strong?

If a theory is being ignored but has strong evidence supporting it, the best course of action would be to continue conducting research and experiments to further validate the theory. Additionally, presenting the evidence to the scientific community through publications, conferences, and collaborations can also help in gaining recognition and acceptance for the theory.
