I just remember reading that.

And there are other theories.

And there's some weird paradoxes, like the more massive the black hole, the less likely tidal forces will stretch you apart.

The math is very complicated, but that's true.

So it could be that what we call the universe is just what we see inside this big black hole.

And how would we know, right?

I mean, I think that at the end of the day, if we ever know the truth, which I don't think we will,
