It&amp;#x27;s easy in my mind looking at the classical black hole picture and wondering what happens around the singularity to wonder if inflation gets re-started inside a black hole and maybe in that old picture where you…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/hep-th_9402115/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
