Is everything "else" black hole?

A black hole is something form which it is impossible to escape; even for light, and so no information can reach us form it Except for measuring its gravitational effects it produces, we can't tell that its out there or not.
So it means that if form some 'region' light and so no info can ever reach us, we might at first interpret it as Black hole (we can still consider its a very faint star that light is struggling to reach us, but let's just consider the simple case here), though we'll confirm only after measuring its effects and all.
If now we take out light cone (of which we are a part) and look at the "elsewhere" region, will it be an apparent black hole for us, if only at out first site?

I do not understand what you are describing. What does this mean:

If now we take out light cone (of which we are a part) and look at the "elsewhere" region...
 


He's talking about an ordinary light cone around the event "right here, right now", and is asking if the exterior region can be viewed as a black hole from our point of view, at that event.

The answer is no. Signals from the exterior region (i.e. from events that are spacelike separated from us) can't reach the "right here, right now" event, but they can certainly end up inside our future light cone and even reach our world line.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
