  (#5) The Quantum Mechanics Idea Of Torsion Explains How A Black Hole Could Spit Out A Universe

  When particles spin and interact with spacetime, it creates another property - torsion, or twisting. Poplawski believes torsion is notable only "in extreme environments" - such as those seen in a black hole. So what exactly is torsion? Poplawski likens it to a thin, twisted rod.

  If the rod is spacetime, bending it would create curvature (like the gravity of massive objects like the sun), and twisting it would create torsion. Eventually, the rod (spacetime) would be twisted so tightly it would snap out of its twist; the gravity holding the twist in place would no longer be able to resist the strength of the torsion. This would create a "big bounce," flinging the energy from torsion that was converted to matter into a new, baby universe.

  As Poplawski describes it:

  "The increasing numbers of particles with spin would result in higher levels of spacetime torsion. The repulsive torsion would stop the collapse and would create a 'big bounce' like a compressed beach ball that snaps outward. The rapid recoil after such a big bounce could be what has led to our expanding universe. The result of this recoil matches observations of the universe's shape, geometry, and distribution of mass."

  (#7) The Rotation Of Black Holes Feed Into Poplawski's Theory

  One way to know for sure if Poplawski's theory works is to look at the rotation of a black hole and its corresponding universe. If a universe was created inside a hole, the universe in question should rotate in a similar fashion as the black hole itself.

  While measuring a black hole's rotation precisely is not something we can do just yet, if future findings prove correct, it could lend credence to Poplawski's wormhole theory - that black holes are just passageways from one reality to another.

  (#9) Popławski Could Be 'The Next Einstein'

  Popławski is no slouch in the world of science. He is one of nine people to be named Forbes's Next Einstein for his research into the theory our universe was created in a black hole, which he introduced to the world in 2010. That year, both National Geographic and Science magazines heralded the theory as one of the top discoveries of that year.

  Popławski has also made TV appearances on various Discovery Channel shows as one the preeminent on black holes and parallel universes. While his theory seems far-fetched, to some respected scientists say it shouldn't be ruled out. Physicist Andreas Albrecht says while the theory may be strange, it may also be plausible. "Everything people ask in this business is pretty weird. You can't say the less weird [idea] is going to win, because that's not the way it's been, by any means."

  (#3) The Theory Suggests The Big Bang Started With A Black Hole

  Before the Big Bang (or the Big Bounce, according to some physicists) there was said to be nothing. But how can everything come from nothing? According to Poplawski, it can't, which makes his theory even more plausible.  

  Poplawski theorizes this god particle - or the beginnings of our universe, no matter how big or small - came from matter from another universe sucked into a black hole. This matter traveled through the black hole and exploded into the beginnings of our universe when it came out the other side of spacetime.

  (#2) Poplawski's Theory Limits Singularity As We Currently Know It

  Some scientists believe the universe was formed from a speck of matter so small, dense, and finite, that it is beyond anything our minds can imagine. Many of them had accepted the idea of a singularity, or "god particle," as the origin of the universe, but had constantly struggled to defend and prove its existence. Poplawski's theory eliminates that idea.

  Poplawski believes these points DO have a limit as to how small they can be compressed and how much they can weigh. In Poplawski's theory, there is no god particle or singularity. Like a snake nut can, anything that is tightly compressed reaches its limit; then there's a "bang" - maybe the very one that started our universe.

  (#1) A Black Hole Doesn't Collapse Everything - It Spits It Out At A Different Point In Spacetime

  Black holes are inescapable regions in spacetime. For years, many believed anything sucked into a black hole by its strong gravitational pull would collapse, eventually folding into the black hole's singularity, or densest point. 

  While it is impossible to study what actually is in a black hole, Poplawski has an idea: what if our universe exists in a black hole inside of another universe? 

  Poplawski believes matter is carried via an Einstein-Rosen bridge, AKA a wormhole. According to Poplawski, the opening of a wormhole is a black hole, and on the other side is a "white hole." When the matter enters a black hole, it travels to a different time and space and is spit out through the white hole. The matter then expands to form another universe.
