: Black holes with an event horizon the size of our universe : would have a low density within the event horizon and thus : we could be living in a giant black hole. If the space time : event horizon is in expansion from the big bang but with : a residual massive black hole equating the event horizon : computation equal to the size of the universe; the universe : would appear as it does to us today. : Comments

Well, for starters I would mention a few things...

First, I don't perceive that the cosmos we are currently inhabiting possess the qualities of the inside of a EH.

The idea of an EH is such that it is merely a boundary where spacetime is infalling at a velocity infinitely close to 'c'.

In all actuality, the "space" beyond the EH is nothingness. There is no dimensional characteristics beyond an EH; hence there is no spacetime continuum.
