A new intruiging scientific paper put forward by theoritical and Astro-physicist Nikodem J. Poplawski shows that Our whole Universe might be at the Center of a newly formed Black Hole existing in totally another Universe! and that our arrow of time originated from that black hole.

The Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama theory of gravity provides a simple scenario in early cosmology which is alternative to standard cosmic inflation and does not require scalar fields. The torsion of spacetime prevents the appearance of the cosmological singularity in the early Universe filled with Dirac particles averaged as a spin fluid. Instead, its expansion starts from a state at which the Universe has a minimum but finite radius. We show that the dynamics of the closed Universe immediately after this state naturally solves the flatness and horizon problems in cosmology because of an extremely small and negative torsion density parameter, $\Omega_S\approx -10^{-69}$. This scenario also suggests that the contraction of our Universe preceding the state of minimum radius could correspond to the dynamics of matter inside the event horizon of a newly formed black hole existing in another universe.

Its mindboggling to imagine the nature of this state, but ancient Indian texts speculated that our Universe might be a tiny fraction that made up another universe of an higher magnitude and this relationship might escalate over infinite times.

Quite interesting.
