Professor Sir Roger Penrose, an Oxford Universe mathematical physicist and one of the authors of the study, told New Scientist: “What we claim we are seeing is the final remnant after a black hole has evaporated away in the previous aeon.”
If the universe undergoes continual contractions and expansions, everything from the previous universe is likely destroyed each time, with nothing surviving into the next one.
But the latest study suggests black holes from the previous universe could in fact spew what is referred to as Hawking radiation, named after legendary scientist Professor Stephen Hawking.
