Einstein-Rosen Wormholes versus Schwarzschild Black-Holes

Our universe at home within a larger universe? So suggests wormhole research.

Nikodem Poplawski, a physicist at Indiana University, has recently had this paper, Radial motion into the Einstein-Rosen bridge, published by Physics Letters B. The news bite elaborates on some of its implications, that a black hole may well form an Einstein-Rosen bridge into another Universe, one created by the white-hole explosion of the collapsed star that became a black-hole in our Universe. Infalling particles from our Universe will immediately cross the Event Horizon and end up in the ‘Big Bang’ of the daughter Universe, though the time connection between the two isn’t necessarily a direct one.

White-hole cosmologies have been suggested by a number of researchers, notably two “Young Earth/Old Universe” creationists, Russell Humphreys and John Hartnett, but also by more mainstream cosmologists. Cosmological physics doesn’t really care, the equations can be deployed by anyone, though Hartnett and Humphreys fiddle with “achronal regions” and “Space-time expansion” to allow light to travel billions of light-years, but be seen by an observer on a ~6,000 year old Earth. While I disagree violently with their messed up geology-bashing, I do find their critique of accepted cosmological assumptions interesting. Plus their basic idea, of Intelligence making white-hole Universes, might be right.

That’s where the rubber hits the road – the potential validation of Prof. Louis Crane’s ideas about cosmic natural selection and the role of intelligent life in the lifecycle of kosmoi. If artificially generated black-holes form an Einstein-Rosen bridge and a white-hole detonation of the “other side”, then intelligent life will be making black-holes and new kosmoi, which will in turn make new life.

What about natural black holes? Stellar black-holes and their super-massive cousins are likely to be out-numbered by their smaller kin. But large extra-dimensions mean particle collisions can make micro black-holes… but briefly. They may not last long enough to form the E-R bridge and are effectively ‘still-born’. Intelligent activity will be needed to proliferate E-R bridges and new white-hole universes. We won’t be gods by making such kosmoi, as they’re cut off from us by the event horizon – the only way to enter the new kosmos is via infalling. Immanence without transcendence, probably as a spray of high-energy particles in the new kosmos.
