Black Hole Universe: Did the Big Bang Not Mark the Beginning?

A new study proposes that the universe did not originate from the Big Bang, but rather from the gravitational collapse and subsequent bounce inside a supermassive black hole. This model, grounded in known physics and observations, addresses unresolved mysteries in the standard cosmological model, such as singularities and dark energy. It predicts a slight positive spatial curvature in the universe, testable through future observations. This research offers a novel perspective on the origin and evolution of the universe and may explain the formation of supermassive black holes and the nature of dark matter.
