Our universe began with the birth of a gravitational singularity. Gravitational singularities are born inside our universe following either the core collapse of a massive star, a hypernova, or following the collision and merger of two neutron stars, a kilonova. Fractal geometry tells us that self-similar patterns repeat irrespective of scale. Following this law of mathematics we reimagine the birth of our universe as arising from either a hypernova or a kilonova event. The same pattern repeating itself irrespective of scale.
Originally, before 2021, I was using the idea of a core-collapse hypernova as the causal mechanism. However as I present in my Big Bang Kilonova Hypothesis the resultant large scale anisotropies seen in both WMAP and Planck show the signature of a kilonova. Coupled to this has been the ease at which I am able to answer some of the most fundamental questions in cosmology such as “Why is the universe homogeneous and isotropic?”.
The Big Bang Hypernova Hypothesis tells the story of how and why our universe was born into existence through the lens of fractal geometry. A hypernova, following the death of a massive star, is the single most explosive event inside our universe which follows a very specific pattern of behaviour. Driven by the accelerated rotation of the collapsing star’s core charged plasma induces a solenoid magnetic field which shapes a pair of astrophysical jets. Coupled to this the core collapses so completely upon itself that a new black hole is born.
A self-similar object is exactly or approximately similar to a part of itself and is a common feature of fractal patterns. Scale-invariance is an exact form of self-similarity where at any magnification there is a smaller piece of the object that is similar to the whole.
By studying the single most explosive event inside our universe, a hypernova, we gain a template from which we can understand the greatest of all explosions: the Big Bang. By understanding how the Big Bang’s gravitational singularity was born we look to a hypernova as it is the only template in nature we have in which a gravitational singularity is actually born. Namely, a black hole!
But a hypernova is not the only event that gives birth to a rotating black hole. A kilonova event, the collision of two neutron stars, also gives birth to a rotating black hole. The large scale anisotropies of the microwave sky clearly show a double helix spiral whose origin is located on the CMB Cold Spot. The gravitational waves of a kilonova event clearly show a double spiral whose origin is the point of collision for the two neutron stars. Hence for this and many other reasons that I layout in my latest podcast I present The Big Bang Kilonova Hypothesis.
