The Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose, has said that before the Big Bang created the universe as humans now know it, there was another universe and cited black holes as proof of their existence. The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel, and Andrea Ghez for their discoveries about the black hole earlier this week. Penrose received the award for an article that used Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to prove the existence of black holes and their formation.
According to the Nobel Prize winner, there is evidence of ‘unexplained points’ of electromagnetic radiation scattered across the sky that are the ‘size of a full moon’ and he has called them ‘Hawking Points’. Penrose has also said that these points prove the ‘conformal cyclic cosmology’ theory of the universe which suggests that the Big Bang only marks the end of one universe and the beginning of another, also known as the ‘eon’.
Although he confessed that the theory is controversial, the Nobel laureate noted that the idea that black holes absorb light was once questionable, but is now accepted in science. According to Penrose theory, Hawking points resemble the final ejection of energy or Hawking radiation that is transferred by black holes that existed in the previous universe.
Explaining Penrose’s work, the Swedish committee said: “Not even Albert Einstein, the father of general relativity, thought that black holes could really exist. However, ten years after Einstein’s death, British theorist Roger Penrose demonstrated that black holes can form and described their properties. At their heart, black holes hide a singularity, a limit at which all known laws of nature break. “

Recently, the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) detected six massive galaxies trapped in a web. The supposed network was actually a supermassive black hole. This powerful black hole is less than a billion light years from Earth. This surprising discovery was published as an ESO study in its official journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. The black hole is as dense as a billion times the mass of the Earth’s sun. Massive galaxies are clustered in a ha lattice that extends more than 300 times the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
