Cosmic Genesis: How Black Holes Might Be Giving Birth to New Universes
The human quest for understanding the universe has led to numerous groundbreaking discoveries, each weaving a more intricate tapestry of our cosmic landscape. A recent theoretical framework, pioneered by Professor Nikodem Poplawski, proposes a revolutionary concept: every black hole creates a new, growing universe inside its event horizon. This idea, rooted in the Einstein-Cartan Theory, introduces torsion to the fabric of spacetime, avoiding gravitational singularities and transforming our understanding of black holes and the multiverse.
By incorporating torsion, the theory predicts that matter within a black hole, instead of collapsing into a singularity, reaches a “big bounce” and then expands into a new, closed universe. This challenges our current understanding of the cosmos, suggesting that our universe is a vast, cosmic nursery, giving birth to billions of “baby universes” through black holes. Each black hole, once thought to be a region of spacetime from which nothing can escape, now becomes a gateway to a new, unobservable universe, raising fundamental questions about the nature of reality and our place within the multiverse.
The introduction of torsion also has far-reaching implications for the long-standing gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics. By violating the linearity of quantum mechanics, torsion favors the pilot-wave interpretation, where particles have definite positions, guided by a wave function. This non-linear aspect of torsion could provide a crucial link in the quantum gravity puzzle, enabling a more unified understanding of the universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to the vast expanse of cosmic structures.
While experimental verification of torsion poses significant challenges, it is not insurmountable. Future astronomical observations of the early universe, utilizing gravitational waves and neutrinos, may uncover the distinctive signature of torsion in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Additionally, cutting-edge particle physics experiments could reveal the extended sizes of elementary particles, predicted by the theory, or the effects of non-commutative momentum in high-energy collisions, providing a tantalizing prospect of empirical confirmation.
The profound implications of Poplawski’s theory, if confirmed, would revolutionize our understanding of black holes, transforming them from cosmic dead ends to gateways of creation. The multiverse, once a topic of speculative debate, would gain a theoretical foundation, with our universe being just one of many, interconnected through a web of black holes. This pursuit of knowledge, even if verification takes decades or centuries, embodies the spirit of scientific inquiry, driving us to push the boundaries of human understanding and illuminating the intricate, ever-unfolding tapestry of the cosmos.
