As shown in the classic work of Belinski, Khalatnikov and Lifshitz, the approach to a generic space-like singularity in general relativity consists of a sequence of eras and epochs in which the metric is locally Kasner, connected by brief transitions. When quantum gravity effects are included, we argue that a new type of transition arises, giving rise to Kasner eons: periods which are dominated by emergent physics at each energy scale. We comment on the different ways in which the Einsteinian eon may come to an end and show explicitly how additional Kasner eons arise in the interior of a black hole solution due to higher-derivative corrections.

Regular black holes from thin-shell collapse
In D≥5 pure gravity with an infinite tower of higher-curvature terms, spherical thin-shell collapse generically produces regular black holes that bounce into new universes.

Imprint of the black hole interior on thermal four-point correlators
Analytically continuing and smearing thermal four-point correlators turns them into flat-space scattering amplitudes at a bulk point inside the black hole.

Black hole interiors in the thermal view of scalar-tensor gravity
In the thermal view of Brans-Dicke gravity, black hole singularities are 'hot': the effective temperature KT diverges as 1/t, and a fluid with P=wρ controls whether gravity approaches or departs from general relativity.
