I don't think there's such a concept as "higher-gravity region" in modern physics, unless you're thinking about "in the vicinity of a giant star, black hole, or something equally massive."
However, if most of the known universe is sitting next to a gigantic mega-blackhole (or enough of them to cover the whole sky), then surely we would have noticed by now...

I think at the beginning of the universe, there might be a lot of regional discrepancies. They might even just be "temporary" regional discrepancies from gravitational waves due to the inherent nature of the universe growing and everything still crashing together.
- Filligree 7y agoThe cosmic microwave background tells us there were practically no discrepancies at all, actually. Not too surprising, since at the densities back then even a small local fluctuation would easily have become a black hole. The very early universe wasn't perfectly uniform, but it was really, really close.
