Do we live in an enormous black hole?

Question

Scientist believe that the universe we live in is expanding. The big bang could have been formed from a black hole that imploded from another universe. It would explain the cosmic microwave background and the expansion of the universe. When the black hole in the alternate universe imploded it essentially created it's own space and time. This is just a theory but tell me what you think.

Answer 1

It's not a bad way to look at the universe. The math seems to come out pretty close to right.

Answer 2

First of all a Black holes are not large enough to form a Universe, at the present time they are just gusting what a black hole is, because it can not be seen.
Every Galaxy has a black hole at it's center, and with that many black holes, well if they were exploding we would have billions of Universes by now, wouldn't we.
Like I tell people, when God seed let there be light, that was the big bang.
They say God created the heavens and Earth in Six days, and he rested on the seventh day.
Well these seven days were not Earth days, because the Earth did not exist then.
In other words a day to God is about a bullion years or more to us, maybe even more.

Answer 3

Actually, I don't believe that this is a new theory by any means. Physicists *still* disagree about the universe - whether it is "curved" or not. If it *is* curved, it is because there is so much mass within our universe that it is, indeed, a black hole, and light cannot escape. If it is not curved, it is because the mass within our universe is insufficient to create this effect.

Perhaps some of these knowledgeable answerers know better than I - my B.S. in Physics is almost 20 years old - but I *believe* that the "we live in a black hole" theory is still well-accepted.

Answer 4

Question: Do we live in an enormous Black Hole? NO.

I don't think that your theory holds water when you begin talking about another Universe. The Universe is everything that is in Outer Space - Everything. There is not now, or has there ever been anyone who theorizes (on a professional level) the existance of another Universe. Frankly there is no room for it, nor any way to prove or dispove the thought. This is exactly like those who continue to ask what was here before the Beginning??? Or, what will happen after the End of everything??? Wow...who knows? All theories.

Take it from me... Outer Space (according to knowledgeable scientists and astronomers) extends 40 Billion Light Years in every direction from Earth. At least those guys can see objects out to that distance from Earth. Beyond that, who knows. Our equipment just will not perform beyond those distances and deliver to us any useable information/pictures/etc.

40 Billion Light Years...and that is not the end of this Universe. That is just as far as we can SEE. Check it out...and you want to discuss there being another Universe beyond this one??? I am just sort of curious...where did you plan to put it???

Answer 5

The Big Bang is really nothing like a black hole. The Big Bang is a singularity extending through all *space* at a single *instant*, while a black hole is a singularity extending through all *time* at a *single point*.

Answer 6

The beauty of astronomy is that the laws of physics we've established that govern existence don't seem to cover everything we observe in space. I think it's an interesting theory - whether it's valid will most likely never be known, but it's fun to speculate about the origins of our universe.

Answer 7

we don't live in a black hole. that's for sure. if we did, we'd be crushed. the gravity in a black hole is extreme. but, we might be living in the remenants of a former black hole. but it's not there anymore

Answer 8

No, we don't.

And the moon is made of cheese.

Answer 9

IDK, never heard of that theory...
