YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA viewer asks if our universe could exist on the “other side” of a black hole. Neil explains how general relativity predicts new spacetimes could mathematically emerge when falling into a black hole, even if we can’t test it yet. This leads to a discussion of event horizons, the possibility that our observable universe shares properties with a black hole’s horizon, and how “different universes” might be defined. The conversation then shifts to strange matter — exotic states of matter based on quarks — and how particle physics often hypothesizes unseen particles to explain anomalies, sometimes leading to real discoveries like the neutrino.
