Is our universe trapped inside a black hole? This James Webb Space Telescope discovery might blow your mind
Space.com ^ | 3/12/25 | Robert Lea

"I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole." ...Black hole cosmology, also known as "Schwarzschild cosmology," suggests that our observable universe might be the interior of a black hole itself within a larger parent universe.

The idea was first introduced by theoretical physicist Raj Kumar Pathria and by mathematician I. J. Good. It presents the idea that the "Schwarzchild radius," better known as the "event horizon," (the boundary from within which nothing can escape a black hole, not even light) is also the horizon of the visible universe.

I doubt a black hole. But I can believe we exist in a cosmic isolation unit to let the sin experiment run its course.

These astronomers should be democrats. Sometimes I think they’re making this sh*t up as they go along...

Comic book physics is the best physics. LSD physics is 2nd best. I’m not sure which one this is. Could be both.

This is sitting around really stoned with your stoner high school buddies physics.

"What if we were all in a black hole, bro?"

"Woah... Pass the bong."

Well, democrats are in some kind of hole that’s for sure. Been digging one for a long time.

"Is our universe trapped inside a black hole?"

Or maybe our universe is trapped inside a black hole that's trapped inside another black hole.

Or maybe that black hole is trapped inside another black hole that's trapped inside another black hole that's trapped inside another black hole, etc., etc.

It's like the mythological idea that the Earth is supported on the back of a tortoise standing on the back of another tortoise and there're "tortoises all the way down."

After the revelation of quantum mechanics in the last century, we've discovered that God does some weird stuff with the universe. Who are we to tell God how to run his creation? Our job is to try to figure it out.

I’m thinking this same thought simultaneously in a billion different alternate universes.

Of course. And the black hole exists in the belly of a very large toad.

The universe is so vast, earth has yet to receive light from far away galaxies after almost 5 Billion years of earth’s life.

That’s why what they say is called a theory.
Assumptions based on what little they do know.
About as factual as the global warming theory.

We’re an atom on the finger nail of some larger being in another universe.

Einstein had only an imagined story when he wrote Special and General Relativity.

Entirely unproven, entirely in his head.
