Can't prove it & it's probably unprovable, even if true, but just seems/feels intuitively right to me - the proposition that we are living inside a black hole. Wanna know what the inside of a black hole looks like, or what goes inside a black hole? Just have a look around.
Black holes w/in black holes w/in black holes. There's your infinity right there.
"If you look back far enough you see an opaque plasma when the Universe was too dense and hot to let light pass through unimpeded. That's actually what the Microwave Background Radiation is."
Sounds to me like a pretty good description of being on the inside of a black hole & what one would expect to see looking out & encountering the 'event horizon'.

jstnomega, it is indeed quite possible to be inside the event horizon of a black hole without knowing it, if the black hole is big enough. According to a friend of mine who knows about these kinds of things there are scientists who believe that we are, and that it would explain a few observations. But that would mean we have no idea what the physics outside a blackhole are like.

"The most intriguing fallout from this idea has to do with the strength of the vacuum energy inside the dark energy star. This energy is related to the star's size, and for a star as big as our universe the calculated vacuum energy inside its shell matches the value of dark energy seen in the universe today. "It's like we are living inside a giant dark energy star," Chapline says. There is, of course, no explanation yet for how a universe-sized star could come into being."
Who cares how it happened? Some major contradictions are banished & the eqaution is balanced - "..and for a star as big as our universe the calculated vacuum energy inside its shell matches the value of dark energy seen in the universe today."

I don't see the issue. You look back far enough to when the universe was a sea of elementary particles. Before that it was an opaque mist. What's the deal.

I don´t believe we are inside a huge black hole, but there is definately one that keeps the galaxy together and all the other ones.
I mean, you would need an object with crazy mass numbers to create a mass point bigger than our solar system when a huge star like betelgause will become a black hole smaller than the dot at the end of this sentence.

Well we "could" be in a gigantic Black hole we may have already passed over the "event horizion" and won't know about it for along time until "time disparities and tidal forces" start to kick in...then it's going to be a bitch...

We are all just a twinkle in the infinite vastness of God's dilated pupil.

It is 'possible', but not theorotically as far as I know.

Dilated pupil? I knew it. God is tripping. This explains so much.

Well, the sun and stars around us are embers from the cosmically friggin' huge joint he's smoking. ;)

Psalm 92:8 "But thou, LORD, art <b>most high</b> for evermore."
That's it! Concrete proof God's a hippie!

I'm no astrophysicist, but isn't the outward force projecting from the centre of the universe completely the opposite of how the inside of a black hole behaves?
