How deep do you want to go into this, and what's your level if familiarity with the Holographic Principal and AdS/CFT corrospondance? There's no hard evidence yet but there is a shitton of circumstantial evidence to suggest that this is what happens.

If there is no hard evidence yet I have no reason to believe. Go find the evidence, then I will believe it.

That's fine. That is the whole point of science after all. I only meant that this is an idea that is taken very seriously by astrophysicists and is under heavy research. It will very likely turn out to be an accurate description of black holes, we just need better gravitational wave detectors to confirm or refute the idea first.

By the year 2015, Maldacena's paper had become the most highly cited paper in high energy physics with over 10,000 citations. These subsequent articles have provided considerable evidence that the correspondence is correct, although so far it has not been rigorously proved.

It isn't some crackpot theory some PhD candidate slapped together to get their doctorate last year. There is real, verifiable, peer reviewed science here.
