Are We Living Inside A Black Hole? NASA's Webb Telescope May Have Spotted The Evidence
Last Updated:
NASA's Webb Telescope found early galaxies rotating in the same direction, reigniting theories that our universe may exist within a black hole. Further study is under way
What if everything you've ever known – stars, galaxies, even your morning coffee – exists inside a cosmic Matryoshka doll? A mind-bending new discovery by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has scientists revisiting one of the most radical ideas in physics: that our entire universe may be tucked inside a giant black hole.
Is Our Universe Inside A Black Hole?
A recent discovery by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is challenging long-held assumptions about the origins of the cosmos. The telescope has observed hundreds of ancient galaxies, some dating back merely 300 million years after the Big Bang, and found that a significant number appear to be rotating in the same direction.
Roughly 60% of these early galaxies rotate clockwise, an alignment that defies the expectation of random motion in a universe born from a chaotic explosion. Such uniformity has led researchers to propose that a hidden structure or force may have been present at the universe's inception, potentially reshaping our understanding of cosmology.
This unexpected consistency in rotation patterns brings into question key aspects of the Big Bang theory, which posits that galaxies should have developed with random orientations as matter dispersed haphazardly. Instead, the data suggest an organising influence, possibly the rotation of an enormous black hole encompassing our universe.
The idea that our universe could reside within a black hole is not new, but the JWST's findings have breathed new life into the theory.
These early galaxies, spotted in a region known as Pandora's Cluster, may have played a role in a major cosmic transformation.
Cosmic Fog And Ionised Gas
During the universe's first billion years, it was enveloped in a dense fog of neutral hydrogen gas. Today, that fog has cleared, with the gas now ionised; meaning its electrons have been stripped away.
Some researchers argue that this transition supports a bold theory: that our entire universe could be the interior of a colossal black hole, one nested within a larger universe. In such a scenario, a black hole could serve not just as a gravitational trap, but as a bridge to a completely separate cosmos.
Why is this once-speculative theory gaining serious attention now? Groundbreaking observations by the James Webb Space Telescope have revived interest by revealing patterns of galactic rotation that suggest a hidden organising force. If such a rotational influence existed from the very beginning, it may have stemmed from the spin of a supermassive black hole encompassing the universe itself. This idea could potentially resolve enduring puzzles in cosmology, such as the nature of space-time, the universe's unusually flat geometry, and the precise tuning of the conditions required for its formation.
Still, not all scientists are convinced. Some suggest the findings could result from observational bias or technical limitations, such as redshift or the Doppler effect, rather than an actual pattern. The JWST team itself has emphasised that the results are preliminary and more detailed observations are required.
Researchers are now working to determine whether this directional rotation can be observed in galaxies elsewhere. Should similar patterns be found, it could signal that our universe's beginnings were shaped not by chance, but by a deeper, hidden order.

Nasa discovers big crater on the Moon. It was made by crashed Japanese spacecraft
Weeks after the Japanese spacecraft Resilience crashed on the Moon, Nasa has captured images of the debris. The spacecraft crashed on the Moon as it attempted a soft landing in the northern Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured photos of the site where the ispace Mission 2 attempted to land. LRO's right Narrow Angle Camera, one in a suite of cameras known as LROC, captured the image from an altitude of about 50 miles above the surface of Mare Frigoris, a volcanic region interspersed with large-scale faults known as wrinkle The dark smudge visible above the arrow in the photo formed as the vehicle impacted the surface, kicking up regolith — the rock and dust that make up Moon 'soil.' The faint bright halo encircling the site resulted from low-angle regolith particles scouring the delicate is not the only agency to have captured the images.

NASA captures crash site of Japanese moon lander Resilience in detailed lunar photo
NASA 's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has captured a high-resolution image revealing the crash site of Japan's Resilience moon lander, developed by Tokyo-based private firm ispace. The lander was attempting a historic touchdown on June 5, 2025, in the Moon's Mare Frigoris region, a vast ancient lava plain, but communication was lost shortly after its descent. The newly released image shows a dark smudge surrounded by a faint bright halo, a clear sign of the vehicle's high-speed impact and the resulting disruption of lunar soil. This marks the second failed lunar landing attempt by ispace. NASA tracks Japan's failed moon landing attempt in ancient volcanic region The Resilience spacecraft was aiming for a controlled landing in Mare Frigoris, a region shaped by massive basaltic lava flows over 3.5 billion years ago and later deformed by crustal buckling, forming prominent wrinkle ridges. Shortly after initiating its landing sequence, the ispace Mission Control Center lost contact with the lander. Analysis confirmed that the vehicle had likely crashed. The small Tenacious microrover, developed by ispace's European team in Luxembourg, was also lost during the failed landing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo NASA's image reveals lunar scars NASA's LRO image clearly shows a dark mark at the impact site, where the spacecraft disrupted the Moon's topsoil, known as regolith. A faint bright halo around the crash point resulted from fine particles being scattered across the surface. According to Mark Robinson, the principal investigator for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, this visual evidence confirms the crash, which occurred about 2.4 km from the originally intended landing spot. Art and ambition lost in the crash The microrover Tenacious carried a unique piece of art, 'Moonhouse' by Swedish artist Mikael Genberg, a miniature model of red and white Swedish-style homes symbolising human presence and creativity on the Moon. This symbolic payload now lies among the wreckage, highlighting the fusion of art, exploration and private space ambitions. A repeated setback for ispace This was ispace's second lunar mission to end in failure. The company's first lander also crashed during its attempted landing in April 2023. Despite the setbacks, ispace remains among a small group of private firms pushing forward in the new era of commercial lunar exploration. The crash underscores the challenges of spaceflight, especially on the Moon, where terrain, timing and technology must align perfectly. While the crash is a disappointment for ispace, the successful imaging by NASA's orbiter provides valuable data and insights into the incident. As private and national space agencies continue their lunar ambitions, such documentation is vital for learning, improving designs and preparing for future missions, including eventual crewed landings and lunar habitation.
