Could The Universe Be Inside A Black Hole?
Summary
This episode explores the mathematical similarities between black hole singularities and the Big Bang, examining the hypothesis that our universe might exist inside a gigantic black hole. The hosts discuss how white holes and the Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse model create interiors that mimic the homogeneous expansion of our cosmos, while also referencing Lee Smolin’s cosmological natural selection and Stephen Hawking’s work on black hole evaporation.
