Would the place where the black holes connect be the gravitational centre of the universe?

I think I may have raised more questions than I solved.
I think you have opened up a can of worms here!!!
Seriously though, Sophie, I don't know whether we know enough (or I should say I know enough) to promote or discount this idea. It sounds entirely feasible and an attractive idea (that was unintentional)- blackholes connecting via a gravitational centre. Maybe someone else here on IIS can comment on this possibility.
Thanks for the input.
You have got us all thinking here on IIS!

Regards, Rob.
