SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theory that our universe originated from a black hole in another universe, a concept that is often dismissed in scientific circles. Participants highlight the lack of predictive power and testability of this theory, questioning its validity compared to established models of the Big Bang. The conversation references Lee Smolin's hypothesis regarding black holes and their potential role in universe creation, emphasizing the need for empirical evidence to support such claims.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics and singularities
  • Familiarity with the Big Bang theory and cosmology
  • Knowledge of Lee Smolin's hypothesis on black holes and universe creation
  • Basic principles of scientific theory validation and empirical testing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Lee Smolin's hypothesis on black holes and cosmological evolution
  • Explore the implications of singularities in black hole physics
  • Study the principles of empirical testing in theoretical physics
  • Investigate alternative cosmological models that challenge the Big Bang theory
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and anyone interested in theoretical physics and the origins of the universe will benefit from this discussion.

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.
