One question not raised by the article is: if the observable universe is, in fact, one giant black hole, does that mean our contents are coming from an unobservable universe being absorbed by that black hole? 🤔 This makes my brain hurt just thinking about it.

Maybe we are viewing it inside out and the expanding phenomenon isn’t driven by expanding towards the outer limits by energy of big bang, but rather being drawn in to an infinitely small center by a black hole.

Nah, it can't be anything involving a well defined centre. The expansion has to occur evenly in all directions, and that has to be true for all points in space.
