The article discusses a new hypothesis in cosmology proposed by Enrique Gaztanaga, suggesting that the Big Bang was not the beginning of the universe but rather an event resulting from a collapse in a black hole. This theory, which positions our universe as existing inside a black hole from a larger parent universe, raises questions about current cosmological understandings. Gaztanaga criticizes the conventional view of singularities as infinitely dense points, emphasizing the inadequacy of current explanations for cosmic phenomena such as matter-antimatter asymmetry and cosmic inflation.
"Our calculations suggest the Big Bang was not the start of everything, but rather the outcome of a gravitational crunch or collapse that formed a very massive black hole - followed by a bounce inside it."
"This is not just a technical glitch; it's a deep theoretical problem that suggests we don't really understand the beginning at all."
