Here is a hypothesis: What if black hole collapse triggers an antimatter phase transition to seed the next universe?
I've been thinking about cyclic universe models and black hole singularities, and I wanted to share a conceptual thought experiment to see if this holds any ground.
The basic idea is that black holes might not just be endpoints, but interdimensional seeders. Under extreme Planck-scale pressure at the singularity, collapsing baryonic matter could undergo a quantum phase transition into antimatter or pure potential energy.
Instead of remaining infinite, this energy pools at the unexpanded t=0 boundary of a lower spacetime sheet. As supermassive black holes merge and the host universe dies, the accumulated tension reaches a critical ceiling, causing a quantum bounce.
Once gravity turns repulsive, this stored antimatter and energy erupts into the lower dimension, causing cosmic inflation. The subsequent chain-reaction annihilation between antimatter and remnant matter would flood the new space with radiation, which eventually cools down to form the first atoms of a new Big Bang.
This borrows ideas from Lee Smolin's cosmological natural selection (black holes creating baby universes), Neil Turok's CPT-symmetric universe, and Penrose's CCC.
How would you address the entropy problem (Second Law of Thermodynamics) in this scenario? Could the loss of time/scale at the end of a universe naturally reset the system for the next cycle?
Looking forward to your thoughts and critiques!
