¿Y si el universo no comenzó con un Big Bang sino dentro de un agujero negro?   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo   Un nuevo modelo cosmológico sugiere que el universo no nació de una gran explosión, sino de un rebote dentro de un agujero negro.  Desde hace casi un siglo, la mayoría de científicos ha creído que el universo comenzó con el Big Bang: una gran explosión desde un punto infinitamente denso. Pero un grupo internacional de físicos, liderado por el profesor Enrique Gaztañaga, plantea que todo lo que conocemos podría estar dentro de un agujero negro. Esta nueva teoría, publicada en la revista Physical Review D, propone que el universo no surgió de la nada, sino de una compresión y rebote de materia dentro de un agujero negro generado por un colapso gravitacional masivo. ¿Podría este modelo reemplazar al Big Bang y explicar los misterios que aún nos desconciertan?  El Big Bang podría estar equivocado  Un equipo del Instituto de Cosmología y Gravitación de la Universidad de Portsmouth ha propuesto una idea tan audaz como fascinante. Según su modelo, llamado Universo Agujero Negro, el universo habría surgido de una fase de colapso, donde una gran nube de materia se comprimió por la gravedad hasta alcanzar una altísima densidad. Luego, esa materia rebotó hacia afuera, como un resorte comprimido, dando lugar al universo que conocemos. Lo sorprendente es que esta expansión acelerada no necesitaría campos hipotéticos como en la teoría inflacionaria del Big Bang, sino que sería una consecuencia natural del rebote.  ¿Y si el borde del universo es un horizonte?  La nueva teoría dice que el borde de nuestro universo podría ser el mismo horizonte de eventos de un agujero negro. Es decir, estamos dentro de una región de la cual no puede escapar la luz. Esto explicaría por qué no podemos ver más allá de ciertos límites. Además, abre la posibilidad de que otros agujeros negros contengan sus propios universos internos. Según los autores, esta idea se ajusta mejor a las leyes de la física cuántica, que impiden que la materia se comprima infinitamente. En lugar de una singularidad como proponían Penrose y Hawking, habría un límite cuántico que permite el rebote.  El modelo del Big Bang ha tenido dificultades para integrarse con la mecánica cuántica. Las singularidades, como el punto de origen del universo, rompen las reglas conocidas de la física. El nuevo modelo evita este problema al considerar que la compresión de materia tiene un límite, y que en lugar de una explosión desde la nada, el universo surgió de una transformación interna: un rebote. Además, observaciones recientes del telescopio James Webb han mostrado comportamientos inesperados en galaxias tempranas. Por ejemplo, dos tercios de esas galaxias parecen girar en la misma dirección, lo cual sugiere que el universo podría haber nacido girando, como ocurre dentro de un agujero negro.  Este nuevo enfoque no solo es compatible con la relatividad general y la mecánica cuántica, sino que también permite hacer predicciones comprobables. Por ejemplo, el satélite ARRAKIHS, desarrollado por la Agencia Espacial Europea con participación del profesor Gaztañaga, podrá observar las zonas exteriores de galaxias para detectar huellas de formación que el modelo del Big Bang no explica. La misión está diseñada para detectar estructuras de brillo extremadamente débil y trazar la historia de la evolución galáctica, lo que podría revelar si venimos de una expansión o de un rebote. Este modelo también puede arrojar luz sobre el origen de los agujeros negros supermasivos, el comportamiento de la materia oscura y otros misterios cósmicos.  El modelo Black Hole Universe no es completamente nuevo. En 1972, el físico teórico indio Raj Kumar Pathria ya había sugerido la idea, pero fue ignorada por la comunidad científica. Ahora, con más datos y tecnología como el telescopio James Webb, esta hipótesis cobra fuerza. El equipo de investigación incluye a científicos de España y del Reino Unido, y se apoya en principios tanto de la relatividad como de la cuántica. Este enfoque es parte de una corriente que busca modelos cíclicos del universo, en los cuales cada “fin” es en realidad un nuevo comienzo. La idea de que estamos en el interior de un agujero negro abre nuevas preguntas sobre si el tiempo, el espacio y las leyes físicas son más maleables de lo que pensábamos.  Una nueva teoría propone que el universo nació de un rebote dentro de un agujero negro, no de una explosión. ¿Qué opinas?

Una teoría que desafía todo.  

For a long time the central part of our galaxy was mostly hidden from us because of all the dust. It was even called the Zone of Avoidance. But with better telescopes and modern techniques we can peer inside and reveal what's hiding. Even build 3D-maps of the region.

Seahawks OTAs kick off this week, so as the team gets together there are some key storylines and nuggets that we're going to be on the lookout for. The rookie form of Grey Zabel is high on that list along with the focus on quarterback and what we're hearing about Sam Darnold, versus Drew Lock versus Jalen Milroe. Could Lock's experience with this team give him an edge over the other two quarterbacks in the way they interact as a team? Defensively, we talk about some of the key things we want to hear about along the defensive line, despite their inability to put on pad and bang around like we see in the preseason. List season creep has begun. Usually it waits until after OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, but we have a couple lists where Sam Darnold makes an appearance. We talk about where he ranks out on the PFF list of 32 NFL starting quarterbacks and the top 10 most risky free agent signings. We also talk about why two former Seahawks are above Darnold on both lists and how it may lead the way for how the media views this Seahawks roster until the start of the season. In the second half of the show, we discuss a few of the rules changes. The NFL has expanded the number of plays that can be reviewed, but only if a flag is thrown. Touchbacks are now coming out to the 35-yard line. If teams and kickers don't start putting the ball in the landing zone, should the NFL penalize teams the same as when they kick it out of bounds? In the Do Better segment, we get into one other list that calls out one move the Seahawks should make and Amazon is password protecting the ability for people to change the time on their devices. Closing the show with Better at Life, we talk about the scientists behind the James Webb telescope and a former Seahawks player who is now an author on the subject of gardening.

Vera Rubin Telescope (aka LSST) is finally ready. We're expecting first light in the coming months. It will find Planet 9 (if it exists), discover thousands of new asteroids, millions of new supernovae and will change the way we do astronomy with its surveys of the night sky. Here's how it will do all that.

The DOGE creeps want all of our private data. The "Trump effect" caused conservatives to lose bigly in Australia. Man-baby's tariffs have left some store shelves empty and have started to knee-cap the economy. Supreme Ketanji Brown Jackson shamed Shitler for his attacks on judges. My Pillow Czar Mike Lindell has been selling sheets from the White House front yard. Crappy Florida GOP legislators and Governor Pudding Fingers couldn't pass a budget for Florida.

Finding extraterrestrial life is a goal for a lot of space missions. Telescopes are analysing distant planets in search of biosignatures. We've spent a lot of time thinking about what it will be like to find life on other planets. But what if we don't? What happens then? Finding out in this interview.

The prospects that life might exist elsewhere in the universe made headlines last week when it was announced that observations of the exoplanet K2-18b by the James Webb space telescope had revealed the chemical fingerprints of two compounds that, on Earth, are only known to be produced by life. The idea of panspermia, where seeds of life from other worlds may have hitched a ride on asteroids like Bennu and crashed into Earth, may be the key to how we were created, or that perhaps we are the alien life we are looking for.
