A new study of 263 galaxies has provided fresh evidence to support a theory that our universe is the interior of a black hole.

The trouble with theoretical physicists of course is that they can come up with any old idea and then they and others try and make it work. The Big Bang is one such idea that seemed to fit the data but now there's more data . . . Luckily the Steady State theorists hadn't gone away.

There are more galaxies than stars in the Milky Way, 263 is rather a small sample.

Shirley though, if 'our' universe is inside a black hole all of the trillions of galaxies should be getting pulled towards the centre of that black hole due to its enormous gravitational effect. But current observations confirm that the universe is expanding and at an increasing rate.

A black hole is not a hole of course, it is a spherical object so I think the black hole idea is a load of bollix.

But what is the whole of the universe contained in
Or does it just "exist'?

The largest road tunnel in the UK will be built after a £9bn plan was approved by the government.
The Lower Thames Crossing would link Tilbury, Essex, and Gravesend in Kent by two tunnels running underneath the River Thames.
National Highways hoped the road would reduce traffic at the Dartford Crossing by 20% and open by 2032.
Jim Dickson, the Labour MP for Dartford, said the decision would "finally deliver a solution to the traffic chaos" faced by motorists.
The 14.5-mile (23km) road would link the A2 and M2 in Kent with the A13 and M25 in Thurrock.
About 2.6 miles (4.2km) of the route would be underground, with a northbound and a southbound tunnel running next to each other beneath the Thames.
Tuesday's announcement was 16 years in the making, with the project first mooted in 2009 and more than £1.2bn in taxpayers' money spent on planning since.
The application was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for consideration by National Highways on 31 October 2022.
A recommendation for its approval was subsequently made to Secretary of State for Transport Heidi Alexander on 20 March.
National Highways has planned to begin construction in 2026.
Dickson said: "For far too long governments have dodged making a decision on the Lower Thames Crossing, leaving Dartford residents to endure endless gridlock.
"This decision will unlock economic growth across the country and finally deliver a solution to the traffic chaos faced by my constituents on a daily basis."

How much over the £9b the final bill will be? (I'd double that figure)

How many years past 2035 it will be 'til opened? (Add five years)

I'd say you're being very optimistic....

EDIT: Actually I'm gonna change my question to, "how do I get on this Gravy Train?"

Business owners on Canvey Island have reacted with fury after Donald Trump slapped a 29% tariff on the South Essex crown dependency.
Speaking to reporters in The White House, the US president said, ‘The Canvalorian military junta’s refusal to build a third road off the island costs American businesses more than 300 billion dollars per year. Just last week, Canvey Way closed for emergency repairs on two nights and the S&P 500 dropped by 38%.’
‘If they want to continue sending their flavoured condoms, chips and fine china to American consumers, they’re going to have to get with the god damn programme, I can tell you.’
