It’s by no means confirmed. It’s one theory out of many. The JWST data shows galaxies have a significant preference to all spin the same way. Mathematicians say this would be evidence in favor but not fully confirm the black hole theory (also called the Swarthschild theory if you want to DDG more). Some suspect it’s bias from the rotation of our own galaxy affecting the data and they plan to calibrate more
If there was some slight angular momentum to things right after the big bang, would it not then make sense that everything would predominantly be still moving in that direction?
I wonder if there are rules pertaining to black holes existing within other black holes. If black hole A is inside black hole B, does it make sense to have a meaningful distinction between black hole A and the other stuff inside black hole B?
The observed direction in galaxies, if true, may be a hint towards an idea that is much older, and it involves the way the universe can be modeled as an information system and how those information systems function around event horizons. It’s hard to even give a fast summary without dropping an essay about a lot of our misconceptions about time and space and the Planck scale, etc. But the most we may get from it might be a better understanding of things like the actual shape of our universe and why/how it’s expanding and other observational goals.
I highly recommend PBS Spacetime, they did a number of videos on black holes, information and the holographic universe principle. Otherwise, I replied here with a short essay, but reading it I realize how woefully inadequate my description is.
I follow PBS Spacetime already, so chances are I’ve seen the videos you’re thinking of and can’t remember them offhand. I’ll give your link a read tho, thanks!
They can be a little hard to grasp, I had to back up and do some work before I connected it to other ideas that have been played with like the parabolic/hyperbolic universe idea. It’s kind of beautiful when you start to “feel” it and I think if anything, these ideas have value in their beauty.
They may not be accurate, they may not be useful, but neither are Monet paintings and we still stare at them for hours.
Anton Petrov also has good analysis of papers like that, here’s him explaining why no the observation does not support the black hole cosmology as long as we’re not cherrypicking https://youtu.be/xXSV9JaWxCE
Doesn’t mean the paper is shit, it always helps drawing parallels to notice differences and refine our equations, but the sensationalism must prevail for all the news sites reporting on it I guess.
This theory could also explain those strange galaxies that shouldn’t exist according to our model that JWST keep finding. Maybe they are from the universe outside the black hole!
Here’s a summary

“they plan to calibrate more”
Garrus approves.
It also depends on the definition of black hole you are using.
Because light in our universe doesn’t leave (escape) our universe it fits that definition of black hole.
If there was some slight angular momentum to things right after the big bang, would it not then make sense that everything would predominantly be still moving in that direction?
Like a sort of universe-sized Coriolis effect?
All hail the great Space Toilet

Do you have an essay you could throw at me, or some kind of video that explains it in reasonably understandable detail?
