The Inverse Horizon Theory - Re-imagining the Big Bang as the Internal Genesis of a Cosmic Collapse

Are We Living Inside a Black Hole? A New Theory on the Origin of the Universe

By ThePluginGuy

For years, scientists have explored the origin of our universe, pointing to the Big Bang — an event said to have occurred around 13.8 billion years ago. But where did that energy come from? How did so much matter and light come from... nothing?

As someone with no science degree — just deep curiosity and a Bachelor's in Arts — I started questioning what I was taught. What if we’ve misunderstood the Big Bang all along? What if everything we know — space, time, galaxies, stars, even light itself — exists inside something far more mysterious?

Here’s my theory:

1. The Universe Was Born Inside a Black Hole

Instead of the Big Bang being a "random explosion from nothing," I believe it was the birth of a universe inside an ultra massive black hole — a black hole so big and dense that it didn’t destroy matter… it transformed it into a new reality.

When a black hole forms in another universe or dimension, all the collapsing matter compresses into infinite density — but what if that wasn’t the end?

What if the singularity didn’t destroy space and time, but created a new internal realm — a new universe? Our universe.

2. The Big Bang Was the Inside of a Black Hole Turning Into a Universe

Imagine looking at a black hole from the outside — everything seems to collapse into it. But from the inside, something different may happen. That extreme pressure and heat could cause matter to unfold, expanding into new dimensions — the same way our universe expanded in the Big Bang.

This explains why the universe had such a massive burst of energy and matter. It didn’t come from nothing — it came from a collapsed star, a galaxy, or something even bigger in a parent universe.

3. The Expansion of the Universe Is Just Black Hole Geometry

Scientists say the universe is expanding in every direction, with galaxies moving away from each other. I believe this is just a natural effect of the geometry inside a black hole.

In a black hole:

Matter is pulled inward from the outside.

But inside, space could be curving outward.

This makes everything move away from everything else — exactly what we observe in our expanding universe.

The cosmic expansion isn’t random. It’s a natural effect of space unfolding within a singularity.

4. The Observable Universe = The Event Horizon

We often ask, “Why can’t we see the whole universe?” The answer lies in the event horizon — the boundary of a black hole where even light can’t escape.

If we live inside a black hole, it makes perfect sense that our vision is limited. The observable universe is the region of space where light has had time to reach us — and beyond that? We literally can’t see, because light itself is trapped or distorted by the curvature of space.

This isn't just a technical limit — it's a cosmic one.

5. Dark Flow and the Great Attractor: Our Black Hole Might Be Moving

Scientists have noticed strange patterns in how galaxies move — as if something massive, unseen is pulling them in a direction. This is called the Great Attractor or dark flow.

In my theory, it could be that the black hole we’re living inside is not stationary. It might be orbiting or moving within a larger structure — like a super galaxy, or even a higher-dimensional cosmos.

That could explain why certain parts of the universe feel like they’re being pulled — because we are all moving, together, as part of a black hole that orbits something even greater.

6. Why This Makes More Sense Than "Something From Nothing"

The idea that everything came from a singularity — but that singularity just “popped into existence” — has never felt right. My theory provides an answer: the singularity was not the beginning, but a continuation of a larger cycle.

Matter came from the collapse of something else.

Energy was inherited from the parent universe.

The Big Bang was the transformation, not the origin.

And the universe’s expansion, structure, and limits all make sense within a black hole framework.

7. A Universe of Universes

If one black hole can create a universe, maybe every black hole does. That means:

> Our universe could be just one of trillions, each born from the collapse of another.

This forms a cosmic tree, where every universe grows from the “seed” of a dying one. Life, time, matter, and light — endlessly recycling.

Conclusion: A Theory from an Outsider’s Mind

I’m not a physicist. I’m not a professor. I’m just a thinker. A curious human with a Bachelor of Arts who believes in questioning what we’re told — and thinking bigger.

If this theory resonates with you, or makes you look at the universe a little differently — then maybe, just maybe, we’re all starting to realize:

> We aren’t just looking at the stars.

We’re looking from within something far more mysterious.

A black hole.
