Cosmicforce--We would not be near a mass density, we would be part of it.
The current Big Bang theory postulates an explosion from a single point. That point contained all the matter of the universe. It is uncertain just what physical laws applied at the instant of explosion. Some of the known physical laws would not have applied until the explosion had progressed for fractions of a second. Gravity may not have even applied at the instant of explosion.
Thorne's idea is that at the moment of explosion, or nano seconds later, a black hole formed, one containing all of the matter of the universe. The Schwartzchild radius would have expanded out ahead of everything. The low density of such a massive black hole allows the formation of black holes and other matter accreations with in it. From the outside going in you would likely get the same mauling from the event horizon as from the smaller ones.
You are focused on the effects on matter of the smaller size black holes. Thorne's hypothesis violates no physical laws and does address one known facet of physics. If you take all of the matter in the universe and put it in one place, you get a black hole.
All the Best
