While the accepted theory on the universe began is the big bang, there are other equally baffling theories. One such is that our universe was born from a black hole opening in another parallel universe and that each black hole in our cosmos could be a gateway to another universe. 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 time 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. There are a few ways in which a black hole can form. Scientists believe the most common instance is when a star, thousands of times the size of our sun, collapses in on itself when it dies - known as a supernova. Another way is when a large amount of matter, which can be in the form of a gas cloud or a star collapses in on itself through its own gravitational pull.

Black hole shock: Our universe could be INSIDE a black hole – shock claim

Our universe could have been born from a black hole opening in another parallel universe

Finally, the collision of two neutron stars can cause a black hole. The gist of all three ways is that a massive amount of mass located in one spot can cause a black hole with it essentially ripping a hole in the fabric of space-time. This has led some to believe that the Big Bang was actually a black hole opening in another universe, allowing the matter which has spewed through from that portal to create our own portal. The matter that has been spewing through for 13.8 billion years could also explain why the universe is ever-expanding. READ MORE: Black hole bombshell: Scientists stunned by ‘freaky’ first
