The attention in this article is not to evaluate globalisation; however, it shows the dark side that some people cannot see. Contemporary history has witnessed a global explosion very similar to that which occurred at the beginning of the universe but in a different way. After the matter formed from the multiple and attractive images of materialism, globalisation exploded and expanded to include almost all world countries. The global expansion, represented in materialism, was not to replace nothingness and emptiness, as happened with the claims on Big Bang theory. Instead, this expansion of globalisation replaced the ethical side, which forms the basis on which civilisation is built alongside matter. The broader globalisation expanded, the greater the black holes occur, represented mainly in crises that afflict all aspects of life that people have become familiar with, far from values.
