I'm seeing too many mentions of Hubble's increasing expansion to let them go unchecked.

Hubble observed the redshift of objects and it was theorised that these redshifts meant the universe was expanding. Just expanding. Hubble knew of no increasing expansion, except in the way that, by definition, expansion means an increase in distance. Saying increasing expansion in relation to Hubble is like saying expanding growth or lengthening stretching!

Now, the acceleration of the metric expansion of space was only discovered a few years ago, long after Hubble was dead.

The Cosmos is falling (Gravitating). Besides that, it has an AXIS, about which it rotates. The Cosmos is a Whirlpool or Vortex, and there is a Black Hole propelling it. That's Mable, Mother of All Black hoLEs, the Black Hole at the Center of The Universe.
The cosmos is falling or gravitating relative to what? An axis implies a centre but there seems to be no centre to our observable universe. Everything is expanding away from everything else, at the large scales, so anywhere can be considered the centre.
