The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Looks like some astronomers are starting to think we are in a black hole. Based on some JWST observations.

iflscience.com - Unexpected jwst observations hint we might be inside a black hole

One such surprise has just been found by researchers from Kansas State University. They looked at images taken of 263 galaxies in the early universe, which were clear enough to gauge the direction of rotation. Our current models of the universe assume that the universe is pretty much the same in every direction, at large enough scales. Most physicists and astronomers assume and predict that there should be no preferred direction of rotation of galaxies, and that this should be true of the modern and relatively early universe.

But looking at the galaxies, the team found a significant difference between their rotations relative to the Milky Way. A total of 105 of the galaxies (40 percent) rotated in the counterclockwise direction, while 158 (60 percent) rotated in the clockwise direction.

...

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.

"One explanation is that the universe was born rotating. That explanation agrees with theories such as black hole cosmology, which postulates that the entire universe is the interior of a black hole," Shamir said. "But if the universe was indeed born rotating it means that the existing theories about the cosmos are incomplete."
