Do we live in a shell universe?
Recent research introduces the "shell universe" model, proposing a thick shell of matter around a central void, potentially resolving Hubble tension and redefining cosmic evolution, but requiring further validation.

Recent research suggests a potential shift in our understanding of the universe, proposing the concept of a "shell universe." Traditionally, the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) model has dominated cosmology, explaining the universe's expansion from a dense state. However, anomalies such as the early formation of mature galaxies and the "Hubble tension" challenge this model. New solutions to the Einstein field equations indicate that the observable universe may be concentrated in a thick shell of matter, with a central void. This configuration could explain the observed Hubble redshift and eliminate the need for dark energy. The proposed shell universe model posits that gravitational effects and redshift phenomena arise from this shell structure, potentially leading to a new cosmological framework. The model also suggests that the universe could behave like a black hole, with all radiation trapped within, and proposes a cycle of gravitational energy that could redefine our understanding of cosmic evolution. While this theory is still in its infancy and requires further validation, it offers a fresh perspective on the universe's structure and dynamics, challenging long-held beliefs about its fate and composition.
- The shell universe model proposes a thick shell of matter surrounding a central void.
- This model could resolve issues with the LCDM framework, including the Hubble tension.
- It suggests that the universe may behave like a black hole, trapping radiation within.
- The gravitational effects in this model could redefine cosmic evolution and structure.
- Further research is needed to validate the shell universe concept and its implications.
