According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, black holes are uninhabitable chasms of spacetime that end in a "singularity," or a mass of infinite density. It's a place so bleak that even the laws of physics break down there. But what if black holes aren't so forbidding? What if they are instead some kind of intergalactic stargate, or maybe even a passageway into a whole other universe?

It may sound like the premise for a clever science-fiction movie, but new calculations by quantum physicists now suggest that the stargate idea might actually be the better theory. According to the startling new results, black holes do not culminate in a singularity. Rather, they represent "portals to other universes," reports New Scientist.

This new theory is based on a concept known as 'loop quantum gravity' (or LQG). It was first formulated as a way of merging standard quantum mechanics and standard general relativity, in order to remedy incompatibilities between the two fields. Basically, LQG proposes that spacetime is granular, or atomic, in nature; It is made up of miniscule, indivisible chunks about the same size as the Planck length — which roughly amounts to 10 meters in size.

Researchers Jorge Pullin from Lousiana State University, and Rodolfo Gambini from the University of the Republic in Montevideo, Uruguay, crunched the numbers to see what would happen inside a black hole under the parameters of LQG. What they found was far different from what happens according to general relativity alone: there was no singularity.

Instead, just as the black hole began to squeeze tight, it suddenly loosened its grip again, as if a door was being opened.

[b] It might help to conceptualize exactly what this means if you imagine yourself traveling into a black hole. Under general relativity, falling into a black hole is, in some ways, much like falling into a very deep pit that has a bottom, only instead of hitting the bottom, you get pressed into a single point — a singularity — of infinite density. With both the deep pit and the black hole, there is no "other side." The bottom stops your fall through the pit, and the singularity "stops" your fall through the black hole (or at least, at the singularity it no longer makes sense to say you're "falling".

Your experience would be much different traveling into a black hole according to LQG, however. At first you might not notice the difference: gravity would increase rapidly. But just as you were nearing what ought to be the black hole's core — just as you're expecting to be squashed into the singularity — gravity would instead begin to decrease. It would be as if you were swallowed, only to be spit out on the other side.[/b]

In other words, LQG black holes are less like holes and more like tunnels, or passageways. But passageways to where?
According to the researchers, they could be shortcuts to other parts of our universe. Or they could be portals to other universes entirely.

Interestingly, this same principle can be applied to the Big
Bang. According to conventional theory, the Big Bang started with a singularity. But if time is rewound according to LQG
instead, the universe does not begin with a singularity.

Rather, it collapses into a sort of tunnel, which leads into another, older universe. This has been used as evidence for one of the Big Bang's competing theories: the Big Bounce.

Scientists don't have enough evidence to decide whether this new theory is actually true, but LQG does have one thing going for it: it's more beautiful. Or rather, it avoids certain paradoxes that conventional theories do not. For instance, it avoids the black hole information paradox . According to relativity, the singularity inside a black hole operates as a sort of firewall, which means that information that gets swallowed by the black hole gets lost forever. Information loss, however, is not possible according to quantum physics.

Since LQG black holes have no singularity, that information need not be lost.

"Information doesn't disappear, it leaks out," said Jorge
Pullin.

Quite interesting and informational.

Blackholes are the results of huge stars running out of juice which leave a huge gracvitational core and sucks everything in. How the heck can that be portal to another universe?

Except by universe they meant underworld or Hades.

Maybe. Go jump inside and come tell us

Interesting stuff

How does that affect The price of garri and kuli-kuli @ the market. Next

Maybe, I'm not well grounded in Physics

God pass them.

hmmmmnnnn contradictory statements nawa ooooo anybody is entitled to their own opinion

kbshow100: How does that affect The price of garri and kuli-kuli @ the market. Next

Hummmmmm osharoo sunday!!!!

None of the above speculation is a fact, reason been that today's science and technology is yet to advance to a stage where space exploration and findings will base on facts but not speculations and theories.

.

See as God just dey take this people dey play.

black holes are not. wormholes are.

Grammar

Following

If this were to be correct
The center of black hole has zero gravity, just lot of mass and energy, so it density is not infinite . If black hole will be feed with matter, it will be stable, otherwise black hole will capture lot of energy, it radius will grow and it density will decrease, until it radius will outgrew Shwartz radius, so it will bang again. It can be tested in such way: create miniature black hole from a particle, then feed this balck holed particle with antiparticle to kill gravitation — black hole should release all it energy in instant burst of energy.

i doubt that a Black hole can be a portal

95% of the people that commented above don't know a single thing about what is being discussed


just like me

The scientists that formulated this piece of s hit are sick!
They need blood transfussion.
The only real black hole is in the v agina of a black woman!
Last Bullet
If you fall into a black hole which these confused scientists talked about, you ll surely reach a ground where you ll crash.
It's your spirit that ll wake up in another universe, that's hell or heaven!

the universe is increasing rapidly,we know little about it and i believe the creator want our knowledge to be limited,cuz na this ITK make eve go chop apple now see wetin we de suffer,lets leave black hole and instead fill the hole in our heartS

my people die because of lack of knowledge

OP, you could try entering one. If you're not squashed into paste, you could give mankind some much needed answers. Thank you.

This is indeed prettier. Other universes? Make I quick go read up on this LQG matter. I love me some space.

.

Yes they re portals to other universes, i ve entere one before and i came out in a world were the inhabitants do not have bosom, and they do not respirate, so i carefully run pass my blackhole come back,

I think it's the singularity thingy. Since there is a purported singularity beyond the event horizon, then methinks the singularity could lead anywhere given the 'big bounce' analogy.

P.S: not anything near to a quantum or theoretical physicist but then comparing some of the responses I'd have seen on Reddit to what I'm seeing here is disturbing....Smh

Still trying hard to graspe all..
