      Well some physicist think we are. A new theory posited by a group of physicists presents the possibility that our universe is nestled inside a black hole. (look up for Dr Nikodem Poplawski of the University of New Haven). Then again nothing is proven, just theory…

      We do not know if we are in a black hole, we even are not completely sure if there is a black hole, although people have tried to prove it to an extent.

      SO, we can speculate that we are in a black hole, but it will be just a speculation.
