Abstract
In this essay we maintain that certain physical properties, originate from the fundamental nature of the universe as a whole and are not independent of it. Therefore, we will take a naïve but novel approach and introduce a simple, yet powerful cosmological principle to develop a new interpretation of General Relativity (GR), one that will provisionally describe gravitational singularities, thereby initiating a new direction toward a complete theory without the explicit utilization of any of the current theories of Quantum Gravity (QG). We will further use this new principle to investigate the nature of spacetime’s inherent duality and, in support of our approach, discuss: the beginning and end of the universe, the nature of black holes (BHs) from a “cosmic perspective”, and we will offer elegant hypotheses for the formation of local structure and for the anomalous observations that lead to the concept of dark matter.
