If a black hole from another universe connects to ours, theoretically, it would be a white hole in ours... but all the other universes' matter would be pulled together by gravity and the white hole would collapse. Is there any evidence this has happened? (A K2S Question)

No, there is no evidence. Since science can offer no objective set of laws that work to describe what happens to matter in a black hole, we cannot offer any ideas about black holes or even if black holes could exist in other universes. Remember that the existence of black holes follows from Einstein's theory of relativity which describes the known operating conditions in our Universe. Who knows if the laws governing matter in different universes would allow for the formation of black holes?
