"A compelling new theory of the creation of our universe suggests that it may not have first begun merely as the single violent paroxysm we are all familiar with, but instead the big bang was actually a rebound from an earlier contraction."
"This earlier, massive gravitational collapse would have effectively condensed a former universe of galaxies into an infinitesimally small, massively hot, and extremely dense nugget of negligibility far smaller than an atom known as a singularity."
"When this potential collapse occurred, it would have sucked almost everything in, but may have left some former black holes that have survived into the present day as 'cosmic fossils.'"
A new theory proposes that the universe did not originate solely from the Big Bang but rather as a rebound from a previous gravitational collapse. This earlier universe would have condensed into a singularity, a dense and hot state smaller than an atom. Some remnants, possibly former black holes, may exist today as 'cosmic fossils.' Researchers from the University of Portsmouth and the Institute of Space Sciences in Barcelona have contributed to this theory, which could reshape our understanding of cosmic origins.
