      Except it doesn’t seem like it will ever contract. If universe were to stop or contract, it would collapse into black hole

        The moment before the big bang, the universe was a singularity similar to a black hole though. In fact, our universe shares several properties with black holes (mass/energy can never escape it, for example)

          It’s more akin to a white hole. With accelerating expansion It seems everything will escape eventually.

          And then ‘accidentally’ observable universe is just slightly below Schweidshield radius which would collapse it back into regular black hole. Seems like a very peculiar coincidence.
