Are we surrounded by distant universes, pulling us apart?

Our universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. Since such non-mechanized
objects cannot accelerate independently, and nothing is pushing these
accelerating objects from behind, we must conclude that these objects are being
pulled from outside of our universe. Therefore our universe, this visible
cluster of galaxies, must be surrounded by matter that is exerting a
gravitational pull which is causing this acceleration.

If this 'we're surrounded' theory is correct then the rate of acceleration
should increase as the outer objects of our universe approach the gravitational
pull of the surrounding mass, and distances themselves from the gravitational
pull of our local universe. Also, if there are variations in the density and
distance of the mass that surrounds our universe, there should be respective
variable rates of acceleration depending on the direction of a given
accelerating object.

This surrounding mass may consist entirely of dark matter, but I believe it is
more likely that there are numerous other universes at varying great distances;
perhaps being obscured by the combination of dark matter and our current limits
in the technologies of perception.

It may be that our universe is but one universe within a cluster of universes,
which may be one cluster of universes among other clusters of universes, and so
on. How deep the 'and so on' part goes is anybody's guess; but if space is
infinite, there is enough room for an infinite hierarchy of clusters.

The existence of a surrounding gravitational pull could account for the
expansion currently associated by many astronomers to a big bang opening event.
These distant neighbors could also be the source of the background radiation
that seems to be coming from all directions.

Notice that the original supposition, that the expansion of our universe must
be slowing down, subscribes to the myopic assumption that our universe
comprises the only matter in space.

Guth done this in the 80's. Continuous Inflation accepts that our
bubble Universe may be one of an infinite number of similar
inflationary bubbles sperated by domain walls and monopoles.

If correct, it may be, the infinite nature of these things implies
their effect cancels out. Or, what we see is not due to a infinite
number of other bubble Universes, though maybe a finite, inhomogeneous
distribution of them. That would be weird though.

Dead on arrival. The net gravitational force inside a
surrounding symmetrical spherical shell of mass is zero.

Further, an example which directly contradicts your premise
about pushing forces is a simple agglomeration of a single
polar electric charge: if the bodies holding the charge are
not physically held together, the ensemble will spontaneously
disassemble and accelerate outwards.
