The central claim is: the observable universe is the interior of a black hole, and every black hole in the universe is that same universe viewed from the exterior. The event horizon of a black hole is the cosmological boundary. Entering a black hole from outside is geometrically equivalent to entering the universe — the same topology, approached from the other side of the boundary.
