The Most Astonishing Theory of Black Holes Ever Proposed

What truly happens when you fall into a black hole? Physicist Neil Turok unveils a radical theory: there is no inside—only a mirror. You meet your antimatter twin, and annihilation follows. No multiverse. No extra dimensions. No information loss. Just elegant math and CPT symmetry. This is the simplest explanation of black holes to date. It rewrites what we thought we knew about the universe itself since singularities are at the heart of cosmology and entropy calculations.
