A jaw-dropping new theory suggests that our entire universe might be trapped inside a giant black hole — and recent images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) could be the key to proving it.
Dr. Lior Shamir, an associate professor of computer science at Kansas State University, analyzed 263 galaxies captured in JWST’s Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). Surprisingly, about two-thirds of these galaxies appear to rotate clockwise, while only one-third spin in the opposite direction — a major red flag, since the numbers are expected to be balanced.
And here’s the kicker: “The difference is so obvious, anyone can see it without any scientific training,” said Shamir.
According to him, there are two possible explanations:
-
The universe was born spinning, which supports the controversial black hole cosmology — a theory that says our universe exists inside a black hole.
-
The imbalance could be due to the relative motion of the Milky Way, which makes galaxies rotating in one direction appear brighter because of the Doppler effect.
The first theory isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. Theoretical physicist Nikodem Poplawski supports it, saying that a spinning black hole could’ve birthed a rotating universe, and we’re simply inheriting that spin.
If true, this could have massive implications for how we measure cosmic distances and expansion rates — potentially solving long-standing mysteries like why some galaxies seem older than the universe itself.
Shamir’s bold conclusion? It’s time for astronomers to rethink how the Milky Way’s motion may be distorting our view of the cosmos — and to seriously consider the idea that black holes might not be the end, but rather the entrance to entire new universes.
