For a century, the Big Bang has served as cosmology's creation myth — elegant, predictive, and yet silent at its own origin, where the equations dissolve into infinity. A team at the University of Portsmouth now proposes that the universe did not begin so much as rebound: that a collapsing cloud of matter, governed by quantum mechanics, reached a limit it could not cross and bounced outward into the cosmos we inhabit. The model, called the Black Hole Universe, suggests our entire observable reality may have formed inside a black hole belonging to some larger parent universe — and that this ide
