IS THAT BETTER, WORSE, OR JUST WEIRDER THAN THE POSSIBILITY THAT WE’RE LIVING IN A SIMULATION? Unexpected JWST Observations Hint We Might Be Inside A Black Hole.

“If the observation shown here indeed reflects the structure of the Universe, it shows that the early universe was more homogeneous in terms of the directions towards which galaxies rotate, and becomes more chaotic over time while exhibiting a cosmological-scale axis that is close to the Galactic pole,” the team explains in their paper.

“Some cosmological models assume a geometry that features a cosmological-scale axis. These include ellipsoidal Universe, dipole big bang, and isotropic inflation. In these cases, the large-scale distribution of the galaxy rotation is aligned in the form of a cosmological-scale axis, and the location of that axis in close proximity to the Galactic pole can be considered a coincidence.”

One possibility suggested by the authors is that the preferred direction is the result of the universe being on the interior of a black hole of a larger universe.

Maybe it’s black holes all the way down.
