How do we know we aren't already in a large black hole-like object that ...?

is responsible for the red shift of galaxies moving away from one another instead of the "Big Bang"??
I said black hole-like object, I mean something that we somehow got "sucked" into or something NOT a real black hole... gosh this is hard to explain anyways it sounded so much better in my head...
*tear... I DID NOT mean black hole :-( you people make me feel sad and stupid! *runs and hides*
Dick S is getting my best answer YAY!
 
1. We can't be in a black hole because black holes are extremely dense dead stars. We'd be dead too thanks to the immense pressure and gravity.

2. How could one black hole be responsible for all the galaxies moving away from each other?

3. Why instead of the big bang? There's far more evidence to support the big bang than this idea.
 
because black holes condense matter, not disperses it. i mean if you want you can think of the universe as an anti-black hole....but that may not be correct if the universe ends up collapsing in on itself after a while
 
If we were inside a gravity well strong enough to affect our perception of redshift, we'd know it--or be already spaghettified and ripped apart by the gravitation.
 
THere is no evidence of such a huge gravitational field in a localized affect around our planet or solar system.
