The understanding of black holes may lie in the hands of computer scientists and neuroscientists who can create machines that learn and evolve their own architecture as a process of learning. Despite the advancements in measuring black holes, such as LIGO, it may not provide new information on black holes.

Eternal Inflation Theory
Summary

The eternal inflation theory suggests an infinite expansion of the universe in both directions, but it is still not fully understood mathematically. The anti-dissitter space is a negatively curved isolated system in a box with reflecting walls, while the dissitter space is the one we live in which is exponentially expanding due to dark energy.
