I added the tag [mathematics](https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/mathematics) not because I have many equations in my question - but as I would love to see some on the topic.

The strongest cosmological model for a universe in a black hole (or, at least, comprised by the outer surface of one) may be Nikodem Poplawski's "Cosmology with torsion", based on Einstein-Cartan theory rather than General Relativity: The descriptions of it, on <<ARXIV>> & in some publications, do contain some equations, which is not surprising, as I believe Cartan was primarily a mathematician.

# Math for the "universe in a black hole" hypothesis?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-01-29)

There are various pop-science article entitled [Are we living in a Black Hole?](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/2/140218-black-hole-blast-explains-big-bang/) or [Did A Black Hole Give Birth To Our Universe?](https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2020/11/03/did-a-black-hole-give-birth-to-our-universe/) which say things like

> There’s a lot to like about the idea that there’s a connection between black holes and the birth of Universes, from both physical and mathematical points of view. It’s plausible that there’s a connection between the birth of our Universe and the creation of an extremely massive black hole from a Universe that existed before our own; it’s plausible that every black hole that’s been created in our Universe has given rise to a new Universe within it.

What exactly are the mathematical connections? Are those calculations in any way connected to the [Black hole information paradoxon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox)?
