I was reading about Leonard Susskind's many theories of how what happens to the information that is 'inside' of a black hole. The one that really stood out to me is the 'baby universe' idea, in which once the black hole dissolves, it forms a baby universe out there in hyperspace, and all of the information that it accumulated is trapped inside this 'baby universe'. This could mean that these universes are expanding, just like our own, and perhaps our own could've formed this way! The only issue, though is that this would increase entropy, because it would have the same effect as dissapearing information, and make quantum fluctuations into 'thermal fluctuations' which I suppose wouldn't be to great.

So what are your thoughts on this idea?

This is completely unsupportable with any kind of evidence, so unfortunenantly no one can really give any solid views on it. It's all just conjecture and opinion. Not to mention the term "Hyperspace".
