OUR Universe could have been born from a black hole in a four-dimensional Universe, an astonishing new theory has claimed. Despite huge advances in scientists' understanding of the Universe in recent decades, where the Cosmos came from remains a mystery. Equally mysterious to experts are black holes – but now some experts are starting to consider whether the two are connected in some way. At the beginning of time, 13.8 billion years ago, there was a dense and super-hot energetic point where the laws of physics did not apply – what is known as a singularity. The only other thing in the Universe where a singularity occurs and the laws of physics are thrown out of the window is at the event horizon of a black hole, which is unexplainable by current scientific methods. What is fascinating about black holes is that the event horizon is two-dimensional in our three-dimensional universe. This means that there is something that we are unable to perceive and the theory, which was first
