Dr. Tyson mentioned a book by Stephen Hawking titled 'The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time' which describes the physics and mathematics inside black holes. He said that according to this book, the inside of a black hole is basically 'a whole other universe'.

So, back on my shelf, I got a book by Stephen Hawking. The large scale structure of space time. Okay. Get some title like that. All right. And in it, it describes the physics and the mathematics inside the black hole. Okay. And as you go through, it basically opens up an entire space time. So, inside a black hole is effectively a whole other universe.
Episode: Black Hole Bonanza: StarTalk Live! With Janna Levi...
The book *Hawking and Ellis* was referenced by Janna Levin. It describes how a black hole singularity is similar to the Big Bang singularity, as the Big Bang singularity is the point where everything in the universe started coming out, as opposed to the black hole singularity where everything is falling in. The book also explores the idea of sewing these two singularities together. It also mentions that black holes might be bigger on the inside than on the outside.
I have a book on my shelf, co-written by Stephen Hawking. I read it and didn't completely understand it. But I do remember the pages where it said that on the other side of a black hole, an entire other space-time opens up. As though it has birthed in another universe.
Yes, Hawking and Ellis. Very technical, beautiful book. So what they did... To me it was an ugly book because I didn't understand it.
To Janet, it's a beautiful book. It was painful though. It was painful.
So the idea is really... Oh, I can't wait to read it.
So they said, oh, maybe when you start to go into the singularity, you're actually blown out into a new Big Bang.
