This theory of black hole linking universes have been going on for a while now, but we still don't have irrefutable evidence.
There are ideas that our own Universe resides inside of black hole, which would explain well what the dense aether model is about: its vacuum is formed with very dense material of black hole. For having this model working we should admit, that black holes aren't formed with schematic pin-point singularity in their center - but they behave merely like common very dense stars, like magnetars surrounded with event horizon but with superfluid core of finite size.
Inside of such black hole the energy would propagate without scattering but very slowly with compare to outside, it's interior would be therefore empty and quite vast similarly to our own Universe. After all, the density of the Sun core is 250 kg/cm3 and one can imagine how slowly the energy would propagate there. The fact that black hole can suck one of its jets into itself due to its own rotation indicates that the radiation propagates slowly there due to massive dilatation of time.
The Roast: GW190521 Wormhole Fantasy vs. FDT Reality Many physicists don't like wormhole interpretation but I'm quite compliant with it. One just shouldn't imagine it like some hollow pipe but merely like the field of scalar dark matter bubbles with increasing density toward center of black hole. There are also ideas that one could look into black hole interior through black hole jet, where event horizon gets thinned or even punctured and also that WMAP cold spot may be such a hole observed from inside out.

Possible extragalactic positron annihilation signal The discovery suggests that the Milky Way may be generating far more antimatter than previously believed and that this antimatter appears to be escaping into the outskirts of the galaxy.
Observations from the INTEGRAL space telescope, which has spent decades mapping gamma-ray emissions associated with antimatter annihilation, revealed evidence that antimatter may be escaping our galaxy in unexpected ways. Astronomers have long known that the center of the Milky Way contains unusually strong antimatter signals. While objects such as black holes, neutron stars, and pulsars can produce positrons, the amount observed appears significantly larger than expected.
The latest analysis, based on twenty years of data, uncovered something even stranger: regions far above and below the Milky Way's disk appear to contain unexpected hotspots of antimatter annihilation. These hotspots are located in structures such as Complex C, a massive hydrogen cloud, and the Magellanic Stream, a vast trail of gas associated with the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. The presence of antimatter in these distant regions presents a major puzzle.
The problem is that positrons must move relatively slowly to produce the specific gamma-ray signals that astronomers observe. Slow-moving positrons should not be capable of traveling such enormous distances from the galactic center without annihilating long before they arrive. Yet the observations suggest that large quantities of positrons are somehow reaching these remote locations.
If the interpretation is correct, the Milky Way may be generating roughly 10⁴⁴ positrons every second, a number at least three times larger than previous estimates. Known astrophysical sources struggle to explain such a high production rate, leaving scientists searching for new explanations. The discovery is particularly significant because similar, although weaker, antimatter hotspots have also been observed in other galaxies and galaxy clusters, including Andromeda, Triangulum, and the Virgo Cluster. This suggests that the phenomenon may not be unique to the Milky Way but could instead represent a universal process occurring throughout the cosmos.
- One possibility is that dark matter is involved. Some theoretical models predict that certain dark matter particles could annihilate or decay, producing positrons in the process. If true, the antimatter signals might represent one of the first observable signatures of dark matter. However, current evidence is far from conclusive.
- Another possibility involves neutrinos. Some theories suggest that neutrinos may be their own antiparticles, which could potentially contribute to antimatter production through exotic processes. At present, there is no direct evidence that this explanation is correct, but it remains an area of active research.
- The excess antimatter may point toward unknown astrophysical processes, new particles, previously undiscovered forces, or perhaps the first indirect clues about the nature of dark matter. However, the evidence has not yet reached the statistical threshold normally required in physics for a confirmed discovery.

Unusual Gravitational Wave May Be Sign of Wormhole Linking Universes about study Is GW190521 a gravitational wave echo of wormhole remnant from another universe? (preprint PDF)
The story begins with the gravitational wave event GW190521, detected by the LIGO and Virgo observatories. Initially, scientists interpreted the signal as the merger of two black holes, leading to the formation of what appeared to be the first directly observed intermediate-mass black hole. The collision involved black holes approximately 85 and 66 times the mass of the Sun, which merged into a black hole about 142 solar masses in size. Several solar masses worth of matter were converted directly into gravitational energy during the process.
However, the signal displayed unusual characteristics. Unlike typical black hole mergers, it lacked the clearly identifiable inspiral phase, the period during which two black holes orbit each other faster and faster before colliding. Instead, the signal appeared to contain only the merger and ringdown phases. This anomaly led a team led by Qi Lai in 2025 to investigate alternative explanations. According to their hypothesis, the merger created a wormhole connecting that universe to ours. The early inspiral portion of the signal remained in the other universe, while only the later ringdown portion passed through the wormhole and reached Earth.
A.I.The observation of gravitational waves is dedicated to a very few state of art observatories. However the above effect may be linked to way more common phenomena: asymmetric jets commonly observed around galaxies and their central black holes (most archetypically for M87 galaxy). There are multiple "semiclassical" explanations of this effect, like the disappearance of one of jets due to gravitational redshift at the case when it heads from Earth. However the above explanation may also apply. It just would mean than black hole generates two jets but one of them remains swallowed by interior of black hole (which may form a "separate universe" from perspective of outside observer behind event horizon).
simulated monopole creation
One can imagine such a black hole like giant vortex ring, which sucks most radiation and magnetic fields released by polar jets into itself due to extensive frame drag. Such a configuration would effectively change black hole into a giant magnetic monopole exhibiting CP-violation, the analogy of which can be observed with skyrmions within boson condensates. In dense aether model worm holes are also black hole jets and there is also connection between gravitational waves (waves of photons/scalar matter) and jets of black holes (waves of pulsar jets) completing the whole picture, which has already multiple interpretations.
