The Black Hole That Gave Birth to the Universe

The big bang postures a big question: if it was truly the cataclysm that blasted our cosmos into reality 13.7 billion years ago, what sparked it?

A group of three researchers at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the University of Waterloo suggest that the big bang might be the three-dimensional "mirage" of a collapsing star in a universe deeply different than our own.


The event horizon of a black hole — the point of no return for anything that falls in — is a sphere-shaped surface. In a higher-dimensional cosmos, a black hole might have a three-dimensional event horizon, which could seed a whole new universe as it forms.

So technically it might be the time to bid the Big Bang bye-bye. Cosmologists have proposed that the Universe formed from the wreckages expelled when a four-dimensional star collapsed into a black hole — a situation that would help to clarify why the cosmos appears to be so uniform in all directions.

A 6-year-old tells NASA to make Pluto a planet again: ‘You need to fix this problem for me’

A 6 year old girl, Cara Lucy O'Connor, has a concern. Pluto was one of the nine planets in the solar system, and since 2006 it isn't anymore. That’s not working with a little 6 year old girl. That’s not right says the little girl from Ireland. So Cara, with the assistance of her teacher, sent a letter to NASA wanting to convince the space agency to “make Pluto a planet again.” Cara wrote in the letter “I listened to a song and at the end of it the song said “Bring Pluto Back” — and I would really like that to happen,” She went on to clarify that in 2006, Pluto was demoted to the status of a dwarf planet, “a type of planet that isn't big enough to clear its orbit.” She spoke about the Kuiper belt, a doughnut-shaped ring beyond Neptune where many dwarf planets are situated. She wrote: “I really think Pluto should be a main planet again like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune, because in one video I watched called 'Let's go meet the plan...
