    ... The radial spatial direction into the hole is timelike inside the horizon, and there is a spatial direction in there that corresponds to the time dimension outside, i.e. in essence t and r have swapped places. ... So the hole interior is an environment with a time axis, a singularity at one end of this time axis, and three spatial dimensions. ... The question becomes are *we* in a black hole, and if so, what happens when we reach the event horizon from the inside (time reversal of matter falling into the hole). ... This picture may never be provable, but it makes one interesting prediction: between matter forming a hole and evaporating from it again, a great deal of information processing could occur. ...
