SPECIAL ISSUE: Selected Essays from the Annual Essay Competition of the Gravity Research Foundation 2021
Editor: D. V. Ahluwalia

Abstract

We show that an S-brane which arises in the inside of the black hole horizon when the Weyl curvature reaches the string scale induces a continuous transition between the inside of the black hole and the beginning of a new universe. This provides a simultaneous resolution of both the black hole and Big Bang singularities. In this context, the black hole information loss problem is also naturally resolved.

This essay received an Honorable Mention in the 2021 Essay Competition of the Gravity Research Foundation.
