A PBS Space Time episode asking whether our universe could sit inside a black hole. It covers what physicists think happens inside black holes and the arguments for and against this idea.
Why Hacker News points people here: Pointed to as a clear treatment of the universe-in-a-black-hole idea whenever black hole cosmology comes up.

“PBS Spacetime covered this topic”
Covers why the universe-in-a-black-hole idea lacks explanatory value.
PBS Spacetime covered this topic: this video Basically, with our current understanding, the only thing that makes the big bang and black holes seem connected is that they're both singularities. But, there's no explanatory value associated with the idea of the universe being the inside of a black hole, and thus there's no way to attempt to test it.
