Every Black Hole Contains a New Universe

Exactly. That's why it's "turtles all the way down" rather than "dogs all the way down".

If it were dogs, we'd have a problem. They're loveable but highly irrational creatures. Turtles, on the other hand, are very rational. Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, they have a the most solid grasp on Popperian falsification.

Of course, even Karl Popper conceded that some areas of study--such as human behavior--were beyond the scope of falsification. That's why some schools of economics are based on axiomatic reasoning rather than empirical methods. If you're not careful, the method itself becomes the dogma, and both the turtles and the dogs just sit back and laugh at us.

Who says they aren't?

I'm not sure if humans have the intelligence enough to even comprehend the secrets of the Universe. Fun to think about it though.

I think you're pretty much on point here.

I'll wait till Sam weighs in this before commenting.

Don't hold your breath.

Well ... it's possible I suppose ... but I'm not buying it.

Why? Because it doesn't make sense?

Why? You should just know your basic astrophysics and you can, for the most part, logically conclude that this theory is bogus simply because it doesn't make sense when you think about the astrophysics part and what we know today about astrophysics.

have to laugh at those that state "now we know"

Every decade or so the "now we know" types are proven wrong.

That's the thing about the OTZ. It's one big black hole of "now we know" threads. :
