It is black holes all the way down

You're probably joking, but in case not, I would point out that black holes evaporate quickly at small scales, and cannot be smaller than the Planck length.

One of my pet peeves is this vague idea about the universe being an infinite fractal, universes inside atoms, etc. It's an appealing idea, but it's totally inconsistent with quantum mechanics and the difference between the strength of forces on different length scales.

I was joking, yes :)
