Makes me wonder. We used to believe that it's possible for our universe to eventually collapse, reversing the Big Bang in a Big Crunch. From what I recall, current evidence points against it, but if we were to live in such a universe doomed to a collapse - wouldn't that mean we'd be living in a universe-sized black hole?

(A black metahole if you like.)
