This book describes the logic behind why the universe is more than likely simply a very large black hole; a universe-size black hole in an even larger universe. It also shows how that the unique size and age of the universe is directly linked to the amount of mass within it. And that the notion of an expanding universe or a universe with a specific size and age is really more of an observational phenomenon due to the limiting speed of light rather than actual behavior of the universe itself. The Big Bang is an illusion, not a primordial event of creation.
