I hope you all know that the scientists don't know what the heck they're talking about. Their ever changing assumptions about what is happening in a truly enormous universe are based on their base assumptions about what things like shifts in light spectra mean. You will note there is always some mysterious unexplained factor such as "dark energy" or "dark matter" that must exist to explain what they think their observations mean. Did you all know that beta carotene has been shown NOT to fight cancer and is now believed to enhance some cancers? How many years did scientists tell you the opposite?

I guess this should put the final nail in the coffin of the "big bang" theory, since if one solves this function in reverse, the initial velocities would have to have been negligible.

My guess is that this theory will get swept under the astronomic rug.

>Wave goodbye to the universe. The expansion of the universe, which began about 15 billon years ago with the Big Bang, is mysteriously getting faster, Australian and British astronomers say.

Well, if scientists can get a clue to this mysterious "dark energy" which is causing the elements of an initial explosion to increase their speeds, it will sure revolutionize the tennis service game. If Anna can learn to harness this "dark energy," then her serve will actually increase in speed as the ball flys away from her racket...

A clever young fellow named Dwight,
Could travel much faster than light.
He departed one day,
In a relative way,
And arrived on the previous night.

However, they admitted yesterday they did not have a clue what "dark energy" was driving the galaxies to defy gravity and fly apart with ever increasing speed.

Simple. The Universe is some kid's science fair project. It was just sped up a bit 'cause the judges only stop briefly (a few billion years) at each booth. We're basically the equivalent of one of those baking soda volcanos. The kid's not apt to win; there aren't nearly enough black holes and exploding stars and other such "cool stuff". He might manage an honorable mention, provided the judges don't notice the carbon-based life-form contaminants.
