Do Black Holes Have "Back Doors" to the Universe, Research Says

Do black holes have an exit? Or do they lead to another universe? A recent study says black holes can be "back doors" to other areas in the universe.

Understanding black holes and the mystery of the black "void in space" has been the target of many scientists. Even cosmologist, Stephen Hawking wanted to redefine black holes by saying that there is a possible exit when something fell into them and there's a possible way to escape.

Although not at all similar to what Hawking believes, another theory suggests that there can be an exit to a black hole and it may be a "back door" to different areas of the universe.

The recent study by physicists from the Institute of Corpuscular Physics in Valencia was published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity. The study looked into the center of "motionless" black holes. According to the research, the black holes have anomalies and capabilities that might lead to a back door to other parts of the universe.

"Just as crystals have imperfections in their microscopic structure, the central region of a black hole can be interpreted as an anomaly in space-time, which requires new geometric elements in order to be able to describe them more precisely," Gonzalo Olmo, a Ramón y Cajal researcher at the University of Valencia said in an interview.

Initially, it is believed that whatever falls into the center of the black hole won't be able to survive. But testing the gravitational singularity and the space-time curves, some say it is not the case. The recent study suggests that black holes can be wormholes that can lead to other parts of the universe and that there might be a way out in the center of black holes.

But, it is only possible for objects that will survive the "horrific" process where the object will be extremely stretched in order to travel through the black hole's "back door." But any object that will pass through and was stretch are said to regain back its normal size upon reaching the other side or the universe and after passing through the black hole that serves as a wormhole.

Some might not believe this possibility, but some experts say that in order to understand the behavior and capabilities of black holes, it is worth to know that the laws of physics that the Earth knows doesn't apply to black holes. Because of the properties of black holes, that defy the logic of physics, it is a good medium for scientists to study and explore possibilities unknown to men before. "Black holes are a theoretical laboratory for trying out new ideas about gravity," Gonzalo Olmo said in a statement.

Although theoretical in nature, the result of the study will pave the way in understanding more mysteries of the universe including quantum entanglement also known as the nature of elementary particles.
