Wondering if it has any credence.

Well, if there are it means some 'universes' have a lot less mass than others!

It's an interesting idea, but is there really any basis for this idea other than pure speculation? As Relativity treats the event as a singularity, where the rules break down, and Quantum theory has yet to reach an answer either, we really have no idea what is going on inside a black hole. It could be an inside out world of dancing trolls, or a gateway to some poor aliens broom closet, but without a working theory to give us even a hint as to what might be going on inside, any theories beyond "matter is stuck together really really really really tightly" is just wild guessing.
