But it is not that black holes explode into the universe, it is that the knowable universe is in a black hole. like I said science fiction, the part I like is it explains(It does not really, again I repeat no actual science) why time as a dimension only goes one wa…

I'd watch a scifi movie with that technobabble as the premise.

Inflation is mysteriously seemingly the opposite of the very rapid gravitational collapse leading to a black hole, ie inflation is sort of like a white hole. I tend to think we are a hologram generated from the surface of a black hole, and yes, probably black holes all the way "up". Of course, it still leaves the question of the first black hole, and why anything at all instead of just nothing.

Yup - annoying. The answer seems to be always elusively fractalian; the deeper you go, the deeper it goes.
