Some theories suggest that everytime a blackhole is created within our
universe, that it is actually creating a new universe inside it.

You don't know the difference between dogma and science. Take some
time for self education and learn the difference.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogma

"Dogma is the established belief or doctrine held by a religion,
ideology or any kind of organization: it is authoritative and not to be
disputed, doubted or from which diverged. The term derives from Greek
δόγμα "that which seems to one, opinion or belief" and that from δοκέω
(dokeo), "to think, to suppose, to imagine".


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

"Science (from Latin: scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic
enterprise of gathering knowledge about nature and organizing and
condensing that knowledge into testable laws and theories.[1] As
knowledge has increased, some methods have proved more reliable than
others, and today the scientific method is the standard for science. It
includes the use of careful observation, experimentation, measurement,
mathematics, and replication — to be considered a science, a body of
knowledge must stand up to repeated testing by independent observers".

Obviously contraction is not equivalent to expansion. Everywhere
we observe, the universe is expanding.

If you have an expansion then something is clearly in motion with
respect to something else.

I'd like to know why any reasonable person would neccesarily assume
that relativistic processes simply dont apply to that.

See: Metric expansion of space
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang#Hubble.27s_law_and_the_expansion_of_space

"Hubble's law has two possible explanations. Either we are at the center
of an explosion of galaxies�which is untenable given the Copernican
Principle�or the Universe is uniformly expanding everywhere. This
universal expansion was predicted from general relativity by Alexander
Friedman in 1922[14] and Georges Lema�tre in 1927,[15] well before
Hubble made his 1929 analysis and observations, and it remains the
cornerstone of the Big Bang theory as developed by Friedmann, Lema�tre,
Robertson and Walker.

"The theory requires the relation v = HD to hold at all times, where D
is the comoving distance, v is the recessional velocity, and v, H, and D
varying as the Universe expands (hence we write H0 to denote the
present-day Hubble "constant"). For distances much smaller than the size
of the observable Universe, the Hubble redshift can be thought of as the
Doppler shift corresponding to the recession velocity v. However, the
redshift is not a true Doppler shift, but rather the result of the
expansion of the Universe between the time the light was emitted and the
time that it was detected.[43]

"That space is undergoing metric expansion is shown by direct
observational evidence of the Cosmological Principle and the Copernican
Principle, which together with Hubble's law have no other explanation.
Astronomical redshifts are extremely isotropic and homogenous,[5]
supporting the Cosmological Principle that the Universe looks the same
in all directions, along with much other evidence. If the redshifts were
the result of an explosion from a center distant from us, they would not
be so similar in different directions.

"Measurements of the effects of the cosmic microwave background
radiation on the dynamics of distant astrophysical systems in 2000
proved the Copernican Principle, that the Earth is not in a central
position, on a cosmological scale.[notes 6] Radiation from the Big Bang
was demonstrably warmer at earlier times throughout the Universe.
Uniform cooling of the cosmic microwave background over billions of
years is explainable only if the Universe is experiencing a metric
expansion, and excludes the possibility that we are near the unique
center of an explosion".
