Unexplainable · Are we all living in an enormous black hole? · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

So how is it possible that I look up into space, I look around me, that I could actually be inside of a black hole?

Well, think about what your experience would be like if you were inside of an enormous black hole.

You can see stuff around you.

You can still exist in your kind of local patch of space, but there will be sort of a thing in the distance, a so-called horizon.

What is a horizon?

A horizon is something you can never get to.

That's what a horizon is, right?

It's something in the distance.

If you ever got to the horizon, it wouldn't be the horizon anymore, right?

So you'd see this thing inside your black hole that is this horizon beyond which you can't see anything, but this event horizon is also always slowly growing.

We know the black holes are sucking things in all the time.

They're getting radiation, they're getting particles and things like this.

So more stuff is coming into view at all times.

So this is what your experience would be like inside an enormous black hole.

Now imagine you right now on Spaceship Earth.

We look up into the sky.

It seems fine.

It seems kind of placid.

Everything's kind of sitting there very serenely.

But in the distance, there's an edge beyond which we cannot see.
