The observed direction in galaxies, if true, may be a hint towards an idea that is much older, and it involves the way the universe can be modeled as an information system and how those information systems function around event horizons. It’s hard to even give a fast summary without dropping an essay about a lot of our misconceptions about time and space and the Planck scale, etc. But the most we may get from it might be a better understanding of things like the actual shape of our universe and why/how it’s expanding and other observational goals.
I highly recommend PBS Spacetime, they did a number of videos on black holes, information and the holographic universe principle. Otherwise, I replied here with a short essay, but reading it I realize how woefully inadequate my description is.
I follow PBS Spacetime already, so chances are I’ve seen the videos you’re thinking of and can’t remember them offhand. I’ll give your link a read tho, thanks!
They can be a little hard to grasp, I had to back up and do some work before I connected it to other ideas that have been played with like the parabolic/hyperbolic universe idea. It’s kind of beautiful when you start to “feel” it and I think if anything, these ideas have value in their beauty.
They may not be accurate, they may not be useful, but neither are Monet paintings and we still stare at them for hours.
Anton Petrov also has good analysis of papers like that, here’s him explaining why no the observation does not support the black hole cosmology as long as we’re not cherrypicking https://youtu.be/xXSV9JaWxCE
Doesn’t mean the paper is shit, it always helps drawing parallels to notice differences and refine our equations, but the sensationalism must prevail for all the news sites reporting on it I guess.

Do you have an essay you could throw at me, or some kind of video that explains it in reasonably understandable detail?
