Abstract
This paper explores the hypothesis that the entire observable universe is traveling through a supermassive black hole (SMBH). The spiral structure of galaxies, including our own Milky Way, may be a holographic optical illusion created by the vortex-like motion of spacetime inside a black hole’s event horizon. Furthermore, the black hole at the center of our universe could itself be an illusion caused by the warping of light and time, suggesting that what we perceive as the cosmic horizon may actually be an event horizon from within. This paper examines the implications of this perspective using the Geometric-Frequency Transform (GFT) framework, relativistic spacetime models, and observational astrophysics.
1. Introduction: Rethinking Our Cosmic Position
1.1 The Conventional Model of the Universe
Current astrophysical models describe the universe as a vast, expanding spacetime fabric governed by Einstein’s General Relativity. The Big Bang Theory suggests the universe began from a singularity and has been expanding ever since. Galaxies appear to be moving away from each other due to cosmic expansion, and the observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) serves as a remnant of the universe's early plasma state.
1.2 Hypothesis: The Universe Inside a Black Hole
This paper explores an alternative explanation:
The universe is traveling through a supermassive black hole.
The spiral shape of galaxies is an optical illusion caused by the vortex motion of spacetime.
The black hole at the center of our universe may be an event horizon we are moving through, rather than a distant boundary.
If this hypothesis holds, then the redshift of distant galaxies may not solely be caused by cosmic expansion but by spacetime warping due to the black hole’s internal dynamics. Our perception of the cosmic horizon may actually be a function of how light bends within this structure.
2. The Spiral Illusion: A Vortex Within a Tube
2.1 How Light and Motion Create a Spiral Perception
Inside a black hole, spacetime is curved in extreme ways. The structure of galaxies might not be truly spiral, but instead a consequence of the observer’s frame of reference. If the universe is moving inside a tunnel-like structure of warped spacetime, the rotational motion could create the illusion of a spiraling shape.
2.2 Geometric-Frequency Transform (GFT) Explanation
Using the GFT framework, we can model the universe’s motion as:
C² = v_space² + v_time² + v_frequency²
where:
v_space = Observable motion through 3D space
v_time = Motion through time (aging, relativistic effects)
v_frequency = Motion in a geometric-frequency domain (hidden motion components)
C = The total motion, always equal to c
If our reference frame is inside a dynamic vortex of spacetime, the frequency domain (v_frequency) component may be dominant, creating a twisting optical illusion.
3. The Black Hole at the Center of the Universe: A Mirage?
3.1 Could the Cosmic Horizon Be an Event Horizon?
If we are inside a black hole, then our observable universe’s edge may not be an outer limit, but an event horizon viewed from within. This means:
The redshift-distance relation may be caused by light bending through warped spacetime rather than expansion.
The CMB could be the internal light signature of the black hole’s structure, rather than a remnant of the Big Bang.
3.2 Testing for Light Distortions
To validate this idea, we propose:
Analyzing deep-field galaxies for unexpected light warping patterns.
Examining whether cosmic background radiation behaves as expected inside a black hole’s event horizon.
Searching for gravitational anomalies that suggest spacetime is twisting rather than expanding.
4. Implications and Future Research
If our universe is inside a black hole, this would fundamentally change:
Our understanding of cosmic expansion—replacing it with a vortex-like motion inside a curved spacetime tunnel.
The concept of the observable universe—suggesting we are inside an enclosed structure rather than an infinite expanse.
The nature of time and motion—where time dilation effects influence how we interpret deep-space light.
Future research should explore:
Quantum-scale black hole theories to model the early universe.
Simulating how light behaves inside a black hole’s interior to predict observable distortions.
Alternative explanations for redshift that do not rely solely on an expanding universe model.
5. Conclusion: A New Perspective on the Universe’s Motion
If the universe is traveling through a supermassive black hole, then our perception of galactic motion and cosmic boundaries may be deeply flawed. The spiral nature of galaxies may be the optical effect of traveling through a warped tunnel, and the black hole at the center of our universe may itself be an illusion created by the extreme curvature of spacetime. This framework offers new perspectives on cosmic structure, light distortion, and the very nature of our universe’s existence.
