If black holes exist, then is it plausible to assume that our universe is indeed in a black hole?

Answer 1

Absolutely...just like every person possess a black hole. It's a part of life no matter what galaxy you are from.

Answer 2

Black holes do exist, it is a proofed fact. It is true that you can't see them but you can observe them by the matter that revolves around it right before it gets sucked in. In my opinion your assumption is not very plausible since a black hole has a huge gravity and everything gets sucked into one small point. The planets are moving away from each other indeed, but not all are going in the same direction like it would happen to matter getting pulled into a black hole. The Universe is expanding in all directions. If we were in a black hole we would all get pulled in one direction. Hope I helped.

Answer 3

If a black hole could exist it would eventually accrete all the matter in the universe and sit for eternity doing nothing!

Answer 4

From the standpoint that nothing can escape our universe, you could call it a black hole. Of course it may just be the inside of a closed electron in a much bigger universe we will never see.

Answer 5

If you are inside a black hole, then space is contracting.
In our universe, space is expanding.
Therefore, no, we are not inside a black hole.

(The facts that we cannot escape the universe, and one
also cannot escape a black hole, put together add up to
"no logical conclusion can be drawn.")

Answer 6

Black holes are just matter that has collapsed past its event horizon, that is its compressed and crushed by its own gravity. So that's not really possible.

Answer 7

Nope.

Answer 8

absolutely not
