On his program StarTalk, Neil deGrasse Tyson has explored a startling possibility: that our entire universe resides within the heart of a black hole. It is an idea that stretches our imagination to its very limits — yet it emerges from the frontiers of science itself. Thanks to instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope, our cosmic eyes have grown sharper, reaching deeper into time and space than ever before. With every new image, every ancient photon captured, we are invited to reconsider what we thought we knew: the true age of the cosmos, its origins, and perhaps even its place within a much grander reality.

Imagine, for a moment, that the entire sweep of cosmic history — every galaxy, every star, every planet, every life that has ever been — is not adrift in infinite emptiness, but gently cradled inside the heart of something else
Not a galaxy. Not even a cluster of galaxies.
But a black hole.
To us, a black hole is a hungry, lightless mouth in space, devouring everything that strays too close. To the universe beyond ours, it may be something entirely different: a womb.
