The observations made by the James Webb space telescope (JWST) on the rotation of the galaxies in the early universe supports a bold theory: the universe would have been born and have expanded inside a black hole.

This hypothesis, detailed in a study recently published in the Monthly Not to the Royal Astronomical Society and reported by Space.com, questions the current cosmological models.
JWST, the successor of the Hubble telescope, found that most of the young galaxies observed in the deep space have a coordinated rotation. About two thirds of them rotate clockwise, and the rest in the opposite direction. This distribution contradicts the initial expectations, according to which the rotations should have been randomly distributed.
According to Professor Lior Shamir at Kansas State University, this discovery could indicate that the universe was born with its own rotation. The theory of black hole cosmology, supported by physicists such as Nikomadem Poplawski, suggests that our entire universe could be the interior of a black hole in another larger universe.
The theory claims that black holes can generate new universes, and our universe could be the result of such a process. Instead of collapsing in a singularity, the extremely dense matter of a black hole could experience a violent recoil, triggering a quick expansion-a possible equivalent of the Big Bang.
“If our universe appeared in a rotating black hole, then its rotation could be inherited by the resulting universe, explaining the preferred direction of rotation of galaxies,” Poplawski explains.
If this theory is confirmed, it could revolutionize our understanding of the formation of the universe and could imply that every black hole in our universe could be a gateway to another new universe.
Another possible explanation for JWST observations would be the influence of our own rotation of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on the measurements made. If this effect is real, it could involve the need to recalibrate distance measurements in the deep universe.
In any case, the discovery of a preferential rotation of galaxies raises fundamental questions about the origin and nature of the universe, opening new directions in cosmological research.
“If this is indeed the situation, we will have to regain our distance measurements for the deep universe”, concluded Lior Shamir.
“The recalibration of the distance measurements can explain other cosmological issues, such as the differences between the expansion rate of the universe and the great galaxies which, according to the measurements of the present distance, seem to be older than the universe itself” he said.
