This Discovery Could Explain Why the Universe Didn’t Annihilate Itself | Dr. Nikodem Poplawski

In this episode of Event Horizon, John Michael Godier speaks with Nikodem Poplawski about a radical new theory that may explain the matter–antimatter asymmetry problem, why the universe didn’t annihilate itself after the Big Bang, and whether primordial black holes may have consumed the missing antimatter. The discussion explores Einstein-Cartan torsion, black holes as baby universes, cosmic inflation, the Big Bounce, dark matter, gravitational waves, and whether our universe may have been born inside a black hole. Could a hidden twist in spacetime solve some of the deepest mysteries in cosmology? This conversation dives into frontier ideas at the intersection of theoretical physics, cosmology, antimatter, black holes, quantum gravity, and the origin of the universe.Popławski, N. (2025).
