Could the Event Horizon of black holes be the edge of expanding universes?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the hypothesis that the Event Horizon of black holes may represent the physical edge of expanding universes, challenging Einstein's Singularity Theorem. The theory, attributed to Poplawski, suggests that black holes could serve as portals to other universes, yet the conversation reveals skepticism regarding the interpretation of existing articles. Participants emphasize the need for clarity on the original sources and caution against misinterpretation of complex theories, particularly regarding the average expansion rates of Event Horizons compared to our universe.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Einstein's Singularity Theorem and its implications
  • Familiarity with Poplawski's theory on black holes and wormholes
  • Basic knowledge of cosmology and universe expansion concepts
  • Ability to interpret scientific articles and research findings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Einstein's Singularity Theorem and its proofs by Hawking and Penrose
  • Explore Poplawski's theory on black holes as wormholes to other universes
  • Investigate the concept of quantum gravity and its relation to singularity theorems
  • Learn about the metrics used to measure the expansion rates of black holes and the universe
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and anyone interested in theoretical physics, particularly those exploring the nature of black holes and the universe's expansion.

I recently read a few articles that contradict Einstein's Singularity theorem. The idea being that black holes are wormholes to other universes; with a white hole on the other side of the black hole (Poplawski's theory). What if instead of being a portal to another universe, the Event Horizon of a black hole is the physical edge to a universe. I'm hardly a professional physicist and have little to none experience with calculus, so I was wondering if anyone knows of anyone who has tried to calculate: The average expansion rate of an Event Horizon, in comparison to, our universes expansion rate but to the scale of an average Event Horizon. Would this calculation provide evidence for this theory? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Please give links. As you admit, you are not a professional physicist, so it's quite possible that you are misinterpreting what the articles are saying (which is not a problem in itself, these are complex subjects and it's easy to misinterpret if you're not familiar with them, but you should be aware that it can happen). One red flag for me that you might be misinterpreting is that you say they "contradict Einstein's Singularity Theorem", which looks wrong in two ways: first, the theorems (plural, there are more than one) weren't Einstein's (Hawking and Penrose proved the main ones), and second, they are theorems, whose proofs have been checked many times, so I seriously doubt a reputable physicist would contradict them--instead, most likely the article is talking about a scenario, such as quantum gravity, where the assumptions of the theorems do not hold. If we have the original articles, it's a lot easier to tell what's going on.

This doesn't make sense, which is another reason why I strongly suspect you are misinterpreting the articles you refer to (and why we need links to the originals).
