So for example, if a small rock passes though a black hole, it is squashed into pure energy, then coalesces into say a solar system on the other side. On the other hand, if we were to pass up through the parent singularity, things would be dark since photons would be like the size of golf balls!

the gravitational forces inside a black hole are extreme. no life possible. imo.

Okay, I'm not really understanding this idea. Someone suggests that blackholes are the sources of universes, then doesn't explain how or why?
Can someone clarify this? I'm not a rocket scientist...but it sounds like all the FACTS being tossed out in this thread are contradicting whats being suggested in the OP, and rationalizations (read: speculations) seem just as whimsical.
Could someone help me understand? Or is this a hypothesis without reasoning?

It's not my opinion, what you have said is demonstrably false. If you wish to talk science, get your terminology correct. If you wish to criticise science, at least get on nodding terms with the concepts you wish to attack.

Approaching the Black Hole
The first frame depicts the observer in empty space looking toward the constellation Orion. The three stars in Orion's belt are visible to the right of the center of the screen. Sirius can be seen as the brightest star in the sky below and to left of Orion's belt, and Betelgeuse is the reddish star just above Orion's belt.
As the movie progresses the observer moves toward the black hole. An odd diffuse glow of light appears in the center of the screen. Soon a black spot appears - the black hole itself. The black hole is almost completely dark - light cannot escape from it. Black holes do release a slight bit of light as they evaporate, as postulated by Hawking.
As the observer moves toward the black hole, the original star images appear pushed away from the black hole This is because the starlight that originally reached you is now strongly attracted toward the black hole and hence deflected away from you. Only starlight passing further from the black hole might now be attracted toward the black hole so that it is deflected to your eye.
Note also "new" dimmer images of stars become visible near the black hole. Here the strong gravity of the black hole has pulled another image of stars around the far side toward your eye. Soon there are two discernable images of everything in the sky. A secondary images of star can be identified with their corresponding primary image by noting that they can be connected by drawing a straight line on the sky through the center of the black hole and finding stars of like color.
As the computer generated animation continues, the observer stops just 42 kilometers from the black hole. The universe looks like a very strange place from here.
