Hi as one has a curious mind is their a possibility that the universe is not just expanding but being pulled toward a black hole of sort?
Is the universe expanding or being pulled?

In summary, scientists have observed that the universe is expanding, as evidenced by the redshift of light from distant galaxies. This expansion is believed to be driven by dark energy, a mysterious force that counteracts the pull of gravity. While gravity can cause objects to be pulled towards each other, the expansion of the universe is occurring on a much larger scale and at an accelerated rate. This suggests that the universe is not being pulled towards a central point, but rather is expanding in all directions. Further research is still being conducted to better understand the mechanics of this expansion and the role of dark energy in shaping the universe.
