Warning: speculation follows.
If we understand correctly, the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. I recall reading once that there is enough mass (matter plus dark matter) that the Swarzchild Radius of that much mass is approximately 13.7 billion light-years.
What if we're inside a black hole? How would that affect how we interpret what we see at large distances? (For example, does that explain the Hubble redshift? Does it explain dark energy?)
And, if it's true, then what is a black hole? Can you have a black hole inside the Swarzchild radius of another black hole?
