A certain type of black hole is theorized to contain wormholes to possibly another universe, but we’ve never been close enough to one of these black holes to see it. A facsimile of this is shown in Interstellar, but the black hole in that movie was purely hypothetical.

"I believe that there is no god" is a positive claim. For this statement to be supported, you would have to provide evidence for why a god does not or could not exist.

This seems a lot like semantics, but it's actually a pretty important part of logic.
These are definitely all very good points. I'm not really choosing sides on whether or not something is true. This type of thing has always interested me and it boggles my mind that something like this could happen. If any proof were to arise, I do think that our minds wouldn't really be able to process the information.
