New Nasa data hints we could be living inside a black hole (www.independent.co.uk)

Black hole cosmology suggests that the Milky Way and every other observable galaxy in our universe is contained within a black hole that formed in another, much larger, universe.

The theory challenges many fundamental models of the cosmos, including the idea that the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe.

It also provides the possibility that black holes within our own universe may be the boundaries to other universes, opening up a potential scenario for a multiverse.

To be sure, I agree with your interpretation of your first point. I was establishing that as part of a pattern rather than an end-all "you can't do science without a degree in that field", especially since applied CS is monumentally important to every field. It's that lack of formal education in cosmology combined with a pattern of only citing oneself for support of one's arguments combined with this being a long-held and broadly successful assumption combined with numerous cosmologists using a variety of methodologies which they think are acceptable combined with no cosmologists choosing to use his algorithm combined with ostensibly using his time with The Independent talking almost exclusively about deep cosmological implications.*

* This last one could be The Independent's fault; it's technically possible Shamir talked their ear off about CS stuff and methodology and previous attempts and what he wants to do going forward but The Independent only ran with the juicy sfuff.
