Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion out to your desired pizza crust thickness. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Add toppings of your choice and bake pizzas on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden and crisp.

Could Our Universe Be Inside a Black Hole? The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled a cosmic twist that’s challenging our understanding of the universe — suggesting our cosmos may have emerged from a black hole. The Strange Spin Mystery Astronomers studying data from JWST’s Advanced Extragalactic Survey (JADES) found a surprising pattern — galaxies aren’t spinning randomly. Out of 263 ancient galaxies, 66% rotate clockwise, while only 34% spin counterclockwise. In a balanced universe, those numbers should be nearly equal. So what’s causing this imbalance? Some scientists believe it’s a clue from the universe’s birth — possibly linked to the spin of a black hole in a “parent” universe. The Black Hole Universe Theory This aligns with a concept known as Schwarzschild cosmology, which proposes: Our Universe Inside a Black Hole: We may exist within the event horizon of a black hole in a larger universe. Black Holes Create Universes: According to physicist Nikodem Poplawski’s torsion theory, black holes don’t just collapse — their spinning, twisting spacetime could spawn new universes. The Big Bang as a “Bounce”: Instead of a singular explosion, our Big Bang might have been a bounce — the result of matter collapsing into a black hole and then expanding outward. The black hole’s spin may have influenced the rotational pattern of galaxies we see today. Alternative Explanations Some experts suggest the rotation imbalance may simply be an observational error, possibly distorted by the Milky Way’s own motion. If true, this anomaly could still reveal insights into: Better ways to measure cosmic distances Solving puzzles like the Hubble constant debate or the appearance of ancient galaxies. If confirmed, this discovery could reshape our view of the cosmos — showing that black holes may not just destroy worlds, but create them.
