Imagine our universe is contained within a blackhole.

If time and space invert at the event horizon, could it be that the Big Bang was the event horizon of our black hole, that we are forced forward through time by the pull of our black hole interior, and that the expansion of the universe is actually just metatime passing, and as we move through space we are actually moving forward and back in metatime, with the expansion of our universe being an expression of increasing constraints due to metatime’s metaspace as we get closer to the center of our blackhole?

I could imagine that the “Big Rip” is what we experience when we asymptotically approach the singularity. The strangeness of black holes could mean that falling into a single point is actually experienced as space flying apart faster than light.

Yes.
