Are We Living Inside A Black Hole? | IFLScience
Added: Dec 26, 2025Why Some Physicists Think We Are Living Inside A Black Hole
Site: IFLScience
According to the theory, our reality is encoded on the boundary of a black hole within a much larger universe.
Black holes are among the strangest objects in the universe. Even though we have learned a great deal about them, they continue to challenge our understanding of physics. In an attempt to reconcile some of the paradoxes discovered when studying them, physicists have proposed stranger hypotheses still, with one suggesting that they imply we live in a holographic universe, where all of what we see and perceive is in fact encoded at our universe's boundary, a 3D (plus time) representation of a two-dimensional (plus time) universe. Further than that, some have suggested that it could imply that our universe is within a black hole of a larger universe. Some researchers have taken this idea even further, suggesting that it could mean our entire universe exists inside a black hole belonging to a much larger universe. Black holes, formed when massive stars collapse, are areas of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. Their existence posed a problem when studying them in terms of thermodynamics. The final state of a black hole, when it reaches equilibrium, is dependent only on three parameters: its mass, angular momentum, and electric charge. "In classical general relativity, a black hole prevents any particle or form of radiation from escaping from its cosmic prison," French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet explains in a 2016 review. "For an external observer, when a material body crosses an event horizon all knowledge of its material properties is lost. Only the new values of M [mass], J [angular momentum], and Q [electric charge] remain. As a result, a black hole swallows an enormous amount of information." Sounds simple doesn't it, or at least as simple as physics can get? But if a black hole has mass (and they have a lot of it) then they should have a temperature according to the first law of thermodynamics, and in line with the second law of thermodynamics, they should radiate heat. Stephen Hawking showed that black holes should emit radiation â now termed Hawking radiation â formed at a black hole's boundary. "Hawking then pointed to a paradox. If a black hole can evaporate, a portion of the information it contains is lost forever," Luminet continued. "The information contained in thermal radiation emitted by a black hole is degraded; it does not recapitulate information about matter previously swallowed by the black hole. The irretrievable loss of information conflicts with one of the basic postulates of quantum mechanics. According to the SchrĂśdinger equation, physical systems that change over time cannot create or destroy information, a property known as unitarity." This is known as the black hole information paradox, and â given how it appears to violate our current understanding of the universe â it has been the subject of a lot of study and debate. One proposed solution, of sorts, was found by looking at the thermodynamics of black holes in the context of string theory. Gerard ât Hooft showed that the total degrees of freedom contained inside a black hole is defined in proportion to the surface area of its horizon, rather than its volume. This allows for looking at the entropy of a black hole. "From the point of view of information, each bit in the form of a 0 or a 1 corresponds to four Planck areas, which allows one to find the BekensteinâHawking formula for entropy," Luminet continues. "For an external observer, information about the entropy of the black hole, once borne by the three-dimensional structure of the objects that have crossed the event horizon, seems lost. But on this view, the information is encoded on the two-dimensional surface of a black hole, like a hologram. Therefore, ât Hooft concluded, the information swallowed by a black hole could be completely restored during the process of quantum evaporation." While this is reassuring in one way (black holes do not violate the second law of thermodynamics, yay) it lead to a pretty out there idea that the physics of a three-dimensional volume can be described at its two-dimensional boundary. While this is not true of space outside of a black hole, there are proposals that the universe itself could be a black hole, where all processes take place at the boundary and what we observe emerges from these interactions. It's a wild idea, with even wilder tag-ons. For instance, it has been suggested that gravity could arise as an emergent force from entanglement entropy at the boundary. The theory is not the most compelling idea out there to explain our universe, with standard physics still describing best the universe that we see. But there are reasons why people take it seriously. For one thing, for the model to work, the universe's Hubble Radius â the radius of our observable universe â must be the same as its Schwarzschild radius, or the size of the black hole that would be created if all the matter within it was condensed to a single point. These two figures are, in fact, surprisingly close, though this can also be put down to a cosmic coincidence. There are other reasons, such as this chart of everything, which suggests that we could be living within a black hole of a larger universe. But until such a theory comes up with compelling evidence and predictions beyond our current understanding of physics, we'd suggest not to plunge into an existential crisis just yet, whether you are a 3D object in conventional space-time or a holographic projection from a 2D boundary inside a larger universe. An earlier version of this article was published in 2023.

Congress looks to reclaim relevance after ceding power to White House Added: Dec 27, 2025
Congress looks to reclaim relevance after ceding power to White House
Site: The Hill

Frustrated lawmakers are looking to 2026 in the hopes that they can reclaim some of the power many fear theyâve ceded to the White House under President Trump. Over the course of 2025, the Trump administration unilaterally shuttered or drastically weakened federal agencies, implemented widespread tariffs, canceled congressionally approved spending and conducted military operations in the Caribbean. Democrats repeatedly cried foul, and even some Republicans aired concerns about the White House brushing aside Congress. Scores of lawmakers opted for retirement before the calendar even turned to January. Now many are wondering whether anything will be different next year, especially with the added political pressure of the approaching midterm elections. âYeah, Iâve been concerned for ten years about that,â Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said when asked about clawing back Congressâ relevance. âI donât know that itâs getting any better. Seems to be getting worse.â Republicansâ signature legislative achievement this year was the âOne Big Beautiful Bill,â which passed using a process that bypassed the Democratic filibuster in the Senate. It extended and added tax cuts and gave boosts to defense and immigration enforcement, while cutting spending on Medicaid and food assistance. The sprawling bill was widely seen as one of the GOPâs only shots at enacting its legislative priorities this year. And while some Republicans are pitching a second reconciliation bill, there is an acknowledgement that Republicans wonât pass any other legislation thatâs as substantial. While the power that President Trump wields over the Republican Party was a major factor in how 2025 played out, dynamics within Congress that led to gridlock also played a role. A tiny, ideologically diverse Republican majority in the House and a Democratic caucus that is dedicated to opposing the GOP have combined to make it exceedingly difficult to pass meaningful bills through the House â and near impossible to pass bills that can overcome a Democratic filibuster in the Senate. âA conference that has Andy Harris and Chip Roy and Brian Fitzpatrick and Don Bacon are never going to produce meaningful legislation on things like that ⌠on things that can pass with all Republican support. It's never gonna happen,â said one GOP operative, referring to leaders in the hardline conservative House Freedom Caucus and moderate members who frequently break with their party leaders. âIt's part of why all the serious people are going to f---ing leave,â the operative added. Adding to the problems on the House side was Speaker Mike Johnsonâs (R-La.) decision to keep members home during the 43-day government shutdown â leaving them entirely on the sidelines of the negotiations and falling behind on other legislative work. âI've never been in a shutdown where we shut down Congress too, like voluntarily, because we think it's good messaging,â said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). Across the Capitol complex, Senate Democrats â and even some Republicans â have also felt increasingly marginalized throughout the year. The 53-seat Senate Republican majority has largely inoculated them from issues with Cabinet and other high-level confirmation fights. Democrats have been pushing back with votes targeting Trumpâs emergency actions, with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) being key in those efforts. The Virginia Democrat was a part of 11 votes to overturn emergency power measures or targeting war powers actions, including on tariffs and the strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. âI think thereâs been such a long history of allowing executives to act ⌠and this president is pushing it farther than most,â he said. âWell, Iâm just going to keep forcing people to confront [the question], âDo you agree with this or not?ââ Some Republicans, meanwhile, expressed unease when Trump moved to rescind funding that had passed on a bipartisan basis, first using a maneuver that allowed Republicans to claw it back on a party-line vote, then acting unilaterally to cancel additional spending. âCongress alone bears the constitutional responsibility for funding our government, and any effort to claw back resources outside of the appropriations process undermines that responsibility,â Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said at the time. To be sure, lawmakers have managed to push back in some instances. But the highest-profile examples have involved a small group of Republicans banding together with the minority to bypass leadership. Most notably, four Republicans signed a discharge petition in the House to force a vote on a bill to have the administration release files about Jeffrey Epstein, despite the administrationâs long-standing and vehement opposition. That led Trump and top Republicans to reverse their position and support the bill, which passed both chambers almost unanimously. Another handful of moderate Republicans ended the year by joining with Democrats on another discharge petition to force a vote on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies that were at the center of the shutdown fight. But while the move will force Johnson to hold a vote on the matter, there is little chance of that bill getting through the Senate and onto Trumpâs desk. âI think this is why people are so frustrated with Congress and what Congress has, what, a 15% approval rating? I think it's gonna go down if we donât get something done here,â said Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.), who is supportive of extending those subsidies. The high number of members of Congress eyeing the exits is another indication of members feeling disillusioned with the job. At the midway point of the 119th Congressional session, 43 House members â 19 Democrats and 24 Republicans â have announced retirements, the highest of any odd year since 2011, according to data collected by C-SPAN. Nine incumbent senators, four Democrats and five Republicans, are retiring, as well. Some see appropriations as the light at the end of the tunnel, with the two parties pushing to fund the government by the Jan. 30 deadline. The Senate was unable to kick off floor action on the five-bill âminibusâ before the holiday break, ironically, because of funding for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) that was nixed months ago by the Office of Management and Budget. Sens. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) refused to allow speedy passage of the spending bills without newly appropriated funding for the center, which is located in Boulder, Colo. Nevertheless, lawmakers see the efforts on appropriations â constitutionally the purview of Congress â as a significant way to boost congressional relevance. âItâs really important. Itâs about the power of the purse. Itâs about us determining what gets funded and what doesnât get funded. Itâs setting priorities,â said Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), an appropriator. âJanuaryâs going to be a big month.â But with the election around the corner, some lawmakers still view action on key topics as a big ask. âThis administration was a lot of change. A lot of it good change, okay?â said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). âBut it has really caused people to back into their political corners. Frankly, Iâm not optimistic about a lot of bipartisan work [getting done] in any of the politically thorny areas. âI think people are going to move off into their corners,â he added.

Quote of the Day December 25: Quote of the Day by Robert Frost: 'Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by...' - Life lessons by the four-time Pulitzer winner - The Economic Times
Quote of the Day: Todayâs Quote of the Day comes from one of the most widely read and frequently discussed poems in American literature. Robert Frostâs words have endured for more than a century because they capture something deeply human, the way we look back on our choices and the stories we tell about them. In everyday life, whether choosing a career path, a relationship, or a bold new project, people often imagine certain decisions as defining moments. Frostâs iconic line explores not just choice itself, but the meaning we assign to it long afterward, making his perspective important far beyond the world of poetry. This article explores the deep meaning of the quote, which is taken from a poem written by Robert Frost and published in The Atlantic Monthly in August 1915 and was also used as the opening poem for his collection Mountain Interval, which was published in 1916.Quote of the Day TodayQuote of the Day by Robert Frost: Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference, as quoted by Brainy Quote.This quote reflects how people look back on life choices and give them meaning. The quote captures the human tendency to shape personal stories around decisions, even when outcomes were uncertain at the time.Quote of the Day MeaningThe quote by Robert Frost is the famous lines from his narrative poem titled, 'The Road Not Taken.' In the poem by Robert Frost, the speaker is walking alone through a forest in autumn, where the leaves have turned yellow, when they suddenly reach a fork in the road, as per a Litcharts report.126175775 Quote of the Day Today December 25: Understanding Robert Frostâs 'The Road Not Taken'Faced with two paths, the speaker pauses, wishing they could travel both but knowing that isnât possible. Standing there for a long time, they try to look ahead down one of the roads, hoping to see where it leads. However, the path disappears into the dense forest, and the road curves, making it impossible to see very far.After considering the first path, the speaker turns to the other. At first glance, it seems just as appealing, perhaps even a better choice, because it is grassy and appears to have been walked on less. That small detail gives the impression that this path might be different or special. Yet, once the speaker begins walking on it, they realize that the difference between the two roads isnât as clear as it seemed. In truth, both paths appear to have been worn down in much the same way.This realization is reinforced when the speaker notices that both roads are covered in fallen leaves that have not yet been darkened by footsteps. For a moment, the speaker tells themselves that they will save the first road for another time and return to it later. Almost immediately, though, they admit the reality of life: one choice usually leads to another, making it unlikely that they will ever come back to the road they didnât take.Looking ahead to the distant future, the speaker imagines retelling this moment with a sigh. From that future perspective, they describe the moment of choice, standing at the fork in the road, and say that they chose the path that was less traveled. That decision, the speaker believes, went on to shape everything that followed, making all the difference in their life.126204709 Robert Frost: Early Life and EducationRobert Frost, one of the most honored American poets of the 20th century, passed away on January 29, 1963. Celebrated for his depictions of rural New England life and his ability to capture the speech and experiences of ordinary people, Frost won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times and left behind lines that remain part of the American consciousness, including âGood fences make good neighbors,â âAnd miles to go before I sleep,â and âI took the one less traveled by,â as per a Britannica report.He was born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, California, Frostâs early life was shaped by both tragedy and resilience. His father, William Prescott Frost, Jr., a journalist, died of tuberculosis in 1885, prompting Frostâs mother, Isabelle Moodie Frost, to move with Robert and his sister Jeanie to Lawrence, Massachusetts. There, the children were raised by their paternal grandparents while Isabelle taught at schools across New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Robert graduated high school in 1892, sharing valedictorian honors with Elinor White, who would later become his wife.Robert Frostâs First Poems and Family LifeFrostâs path as a poet began early. He published his first professional poem, My Butterfly: An Elegy, in 1894 in The Independent. Despite a love for poetry, he struggled with academic routine, leaving Dartmouth College after less than a year. He and Elinor married in 1895, facing early challenges in supporting their growing family. Frost taught school and farmed, though neither brought notable success.Robert Frost's Life on the Derry Poultry FarmFrom 1900 to 1909, Frost and his family lived on a poultry farm near Derry, New Hampshire. During this period, he taught at Pinkerton Academy and became an enthusiastic botanist, honing his poetic voice as a New England rural sage. Though his writing continued, publishing opportunities were scarce in these early years.Robert Frost's Teaching Career, Pulitzer Prizes and Literary AchievementsIn 1915, Robert Frost purchased a small farm in Franconia, New Hampshire, hoping to support his family through farming and poetry. However, the income from both proved insufficient, leading him to lecture and teach part-time at Amherst College and the University of Michigan from 1916 to 1938.Frostâs literary reputation continued to grow during this period. His 1916 collection, Mountain Interval, reinforced the high standard set by his earlier works, leaving little doubt about his poetic talent. In 1923, New Hampshire earned Frost his first Pulitzer Prize for poetry, a distinction he would later receive for Collected Poems (1930), A Further Range (1936), and A Witness Tree (1942).He continued to publish throughout his life, with volumes including West-Running Brook (1928), Steeple Bush (1947), and In the Clearing (1962), cementing his place as one of Americaâs most celebrated poets.126001850 Iconic Quotes by Robert FrostHere are a few other inspirational and motivational quotes by Robert Frost. In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on, as quoted by Brainy Quotes. The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. Freedom lies in being bold. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. How the Quote of the Day by Robert Frost In âThe Road Not Takenâ Is Still Relevant TodayHowever, Robert Frostâs line âTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I â I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the differenceâ remains the most relevant today because it captures how people reflect on their life choices. In the poem The Road Not Taken, Frost uses this image of a fork in the woods to show that when we must choose between options, we can never fully know the outcome at the time we decide. Later, we often tell our own story about why our choice mattered, even if the options were much the same, making the quote resonate with readers facing decisions big and small.

Quote of the day by J. Robert Oppenheimer: 'There are no secrets about the world of nature, but there are secrets about...' - The Economic Times
Spoken in 1955, J. Robert Oppenheimers reflection on secrecy shifts attention from science to human intent. The article explores how his words challenge the idea that knowledge itself is dangerous, arguing instead that hidden motives shape conflict and misuse. Tracing his life from scientific brilliance to moral reckoning after the atomic bomb, it explains why his insight feels strikingly relevant in todays debates on power, technology and ethical responsibility.
Some lines arrive without drama yet refuse to fade. J. Robert Oppenheimerâs observation on secrecy is one such thought. Spoken softly during a televised interview in 1955, it carried the weight of a century shaped by war, suspicion and scientific power. It was not a scientist boasting about discovery, but a thinker quietly pointing to where the real danger lies.âThere are no secrets about the world of nature. There are secrets about the thoughts and intentions of men. At a time when secrecy defined geopolitics and fear governed decisions, Oppenheimer chose to look beyond laboratories and into the human mind.Nature does not lie, people doOppenheimerâs statement draws a striking boundary. The natural world, he believed, holds no permanent secrets. The laws of physics, chemistry and the universe itself are open to anyone willing to ask the right questions. Discoveries may take time, but they cannot be owned forever.Human intention, however, is another matter. Motives are hidden, shaped by fear, ambition and power. Wars are not caused by equations. They are caused by decisions. Science reveals how things work. People decide how they are used.In one sentence, Oppenheimer shifted the idea of secrecy away from science and placed it squarely in the moral realm.126187073 Why this idea feels uncomfortably modernToday, we worry about who controls data, algorithms and advanced technologies. Oppenheimerâs words suggest that the deeper concern is not access to knowledge, but the mindset behind its use.In offices, institutions and governments, transparency often stops at information. Intentions remain unspoken. Progress is announced, but consequences are deferred. Oppenheimerâs insight reminds us that innovation without ethical clarity can mislead as easily as it can advance.On a personal level, the quote also resonates quietly. Most conflicts do not arise from lack of facts. They arise from unspoken motives. Understanding the world is easier than understanding people, including ourselves.His words urge us to look inward as much as outward.126158472 A mind shaped by brilliance and burdenOppenheimer was uniquely positioned to make this observation. Born in New York in 1904, he sped through Harvard, trained in Europe under leading physicists and helped build Americaâs strongest school of theoretical physics at Berkeley. His scientific achievements were formidable long before the world knew his name.As director of the Manhattan Projectâs Los Alamos Laboratory, he stood at the centre of historyâs most consequential scientific effort. The success of the atomic bomb brought recognition and immediate moral reckoning. After witnessing the Trinity test in 1945, he turned to the Bhagavad Gita, capturing both awe and dread in a single line.In the years that followed, his advocacy for nuclear restraint placed him in political danger.
