Agreed, this seems likely. My concern is one of how many levels are
there? It would seem to me that all the holes from one Universe must
link to a single lower Universe. Now whether that is true is
unknowable. The next tenet is if you proceed into a massive black
hole in our Universe, and on into a massive black hole in that
Universe, and so on... do you end up crossing into the Big Bang of
*this* Universe eventually? I think you must, because the "laws of
symmetry" would then "average out" with say, four rotations (space1 ->
time2... space2 -> time3... space3 -> time4... space4 -> time1). This
would generate Universes where antimatter was dominant (perhaps 1 away
in either "direction"), and preference for handedness was opposite
(perhaps 2 away).

All untestable, tantamount to just SF.

Maybe. I find it likely that it will still "locally" be a constant,
and that any sort of measure wil be unable to distinguish between c's
in any of the Universes.

This in one problem with describing the behavior of a finite set
(likely) with infinite mathematics... such things "make sense" to
discuss.

Correct, as far as anyone knows we've been sucked into black holes and
reincarnated dozens upon dozens of times. Perhaps our next demise and
subsequent incarnation is within "The Great Attractor", along with
dozens of other galaxies headed from all directions into the same dark
and scary location.

Matter begets photons and photons beget matter. In other words,
energy in always equals energy out, and there's never anything more or
less because the universe is a forever kind of thing, that as a whole
stays exactly the same.

Tell us what's within the barycenter called "The Great Attractor"?

Slight concentration of galactic cluster mass... it happens.
