The only solar system is ours?

I recently started Charles Stross' "Singularity Sky" as part of my sci-fi binge and began thinking of relativity and causality; etc. In short, I decided to toy with the idea that the only set of planets and star (solar system) in the universe is the one we beings (hello, beings!) reside in. That we are revolving around a singularity with an event horizon proximal enough to skew our view of what we think is the vast universe. When looking at the stars, we are looking into the very distant past... looking at anything is looking at the past. We look into the night sky, thinking we are seeing the vast cosmos when it is really just the past or future of our current system wrapped around a violently accelerating gravity well warping the space-time continuum. My problems are accounting for multiple star systems and and other characteristics as such that have been observed to be far unlike our own system. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
