that our universe is inside a black hole

The observations of the James Webb space telescope (JWST) have allowed us to realize a strange trend, and that is that a surprisingly high part of the galaxies of our environment revolve in the same direction. This has led them to ask a unique question: is our universe inside a black hole?

Two thirds. A survey of more than 260 galaxies made from the observations of James Webb have given a curious result. According to these data, about two thirds of the observed galaxies They turn in the direction of the clock needleswhile the other third revolves in the opposite direction.

263 Galaxies. The data has been obtained in the context of the Jades survey (James Webb Space Telescope Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey), which analyzed A region of the universe located in the surroundings of our galactic pole. In this, the sense of rotation of 263 galaxies could be identified.

These numbers have caught the attention of experts. In a recent articlepublished in the magazine Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyLior Shamir, from the Kansas state of the state, pointed out this apparent imbalance and proposed various hypotheses to explain it.

Explaining the phenomenon. If the Jades sample is representative of what happens in the observable universe, it could be indicative that galaxies have a “preference” for rotating in a certain directionwhich in turn could be the indication that the universe as a whole “was born” rotating.

According to Shamir himself explainsthis rotation inherent in the cosmos is not consistent with contemporary cosmological models, which would make them “incomplete” theories. However, this would be consistent with the so -called “black hole cosmology.”

The cosmology of the black hole postulates that the entire observable universe would be inside a black hole and also contemplate the possibility that black holes in our universe in turn content other universes inside.

Diverse hypotheses. The black hole hypothesis may be the most fascinating, but not the only one. We pointed out before the possibility that the hypothesis of the existence of a preferential rotation direction was assuming that the sample observed was representative of the rest of the observable universe. However, the possibility of a bias in the sample is not negligible.

Doppler effect. According to Shamir himself indicatesthe sample could be overrepresenting the galaxies that revolve in a certain direction. The reason is on the Doppler effect, an effect that links the frequency of the waves that reach a certain point based on the relative speed between such a point and the wave emission focus. When emitter and receiver approach, the waves are compressed, while if they move away, the wavelength increases.

This could be occurring with the electromagnetic waves of these galaxies due to the displacement of our solar system when orbiting the center of our galaxy. According to Shamir, the galaxies that rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation of our planet become lougenous, so they can identify better from our point of view.

The rotational speed of our planet had been considered too small to alter the data due to the Doppler effect. However, the data can also be alerting that this is not the case, which in turn would imply that we must emphasize some of our measures of the distant universe.
