How many new worlds are inside a black hole?

Open full text 124 citations

Abstract

We propose a possible internal structure for a Schwarzschild black hole resulting from the creation of multiple de Sitter universes with lightlike boundaries when the curvature reaches Planckian values. The intersection of the boundaries is studied and a scenario leading to disconnected de Sitter universes is proposed. The application to the information loss problem is then discussed.
