      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.
