Unknown how much scientific credibility this theory carries through the overall egghead community but the general premise is that a black hole's lifespan is very short and it ends up exploding all that stuff back into space. (RT: Mysterious black holes may be exploding into ‘white holes’)
The thinking is that the black hole seems to be there but we only see it because gravity distorted time. Something that, from our standpoint, appears to last billions of years, actually occurs in a millisecond in the objective time of the black hole (i.e. if you were standing on it).
The reason these astrophysicists think the black hole will explode is that it reaches a point at which things can be compressed no more and then it blows up.
That sure sounds a lot like the Big Bang so maybe now we see all these compact Universes starting to pop up. The scientists said it's about time now for the black holes from the early time after the Big Bang to start exploding.
Well ... let's get on with that. It would have to be cool to watch.
Note: one of my conditions on 'cool to watch' is that it is so far away that we don't get blowed up with it.

Since I find quantum physics fascinating, this does intrigue me. I'm not sure it'll adequately explain what we can observe, but it's interesting to see some intelligent debate related to the mechanics of the Big Bang.
Before assailing potheads, the author should try to eliminate items like this:
Such debate seems to have profoundly religious implications, but Das isn’t going there.
(cough)
It's conceptually intriguing along those lines and it's sounding a lot like they have no idea what really happened but they have some pretty good guesses.
Sorry. I must have gone there. Cripes.
Well, as I see no religious conflicts with either a Big Bang or a Steady State approach, my primary interest is in the cosmology debate itself. Much of Quantum Physics sound like it could have come straight out of Hofmann's lab, but all that tells me is that there's still way too much we don't understand. The debate in filling in the numerous gaps is fascinating.
For me the Steady State is not satisfying for a number of reasons:
- The Big Bang was the Great Motivator. That it happened is all the evidence I need of Creation.
- Steady State conflicts with everything else we see as everything dies eventually.
- It's unimaginable to me that a project of this magnitude could be explained solely be entropy.
The problem I have with Steady State is that it doesn't explain the motion that is apparent in all objects we can study. The concept of a Big Bang is necessary for the motion we're able to detect. Of course, that all presupposes that our understanding of the physics is accurate. The problem with a Big Bang for me is that it fails to describe the mechanics of how the singularity originated and why that singularity would suddenly engage in rapid expansion. Neither is sufficient for me, hence my fascination with additional modifications of the theories we have.
Nope, a Steady State doesn't balance with anything. Fundamental principle in biology is that equilibrium in a living system is death.
The problems with the Big Bang are what it make it spiritually delicious. For my view, knowing there has to be the Great Instigator is all I need to make things complete. I don't need a PhD to follow the flow of headlines and I've yet to see any huge thing that counters the general model as all they do is make it larger with multiple universes and who knows what else. It still has an Igniter and then all of that follows.
