Nobel Prize-winning research on Type 1a supernovas has shown that roughly five billion years ago, the galaxies did more than their average rush apart. They began to speed up. They accelerated. They cannonballed away from each other with increasing haste. Acceleration takes energy. So where did the mystery energy jackrabbiting galaxies and stars apart come from?<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute; left:-4933px; top:-3903px;\">Razor used smart are shadow works canadian pharmacy virus removal using &#8211; corporate&#8230; Not is?

It\u2019s 13.72 billion years ago. An explosion spurts abruptly from the bagel\u2019s hole. Rocketing up the bagel\u2019s topside is a Big Bang of matter.<\/span><\/p>\n <span style=\"color: #000000;\">image by Sabine Allaeys, wobbly lines by Howard Bloom<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">But gushing from the hole on the bottom is an equal and opposite, a big bang of anti-matter. That\u2019s where all the anti-matter goes.<\/span><\/p>\n <span style=\"color: #000000;\">image by Bryan Brandenburg<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">In Einsteinian manifolds, the shape of space tells matter how to move. A steep slope says \u201cmove fast; Very fast. Rush. Race. Speed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <span style=\"color: #000000;\">image by Bryan Brandenburg<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">The slopes that funnel upward and downward from the bagel\u2019s hole are steep. That steep curve tells the matter and anti-matter universes to race upward (or downward) and outward at unbelievable speed, the speed known in physics and cosmology as \u201cinflation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">But the traveling orders that space gives to matter change as the two universes approach the flatness of the bagel\u2019s upper and under hump.<\/span><\/p>\n <span style=\"color: #000000;\">image courtesy of www.foodsubs.com<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">The leveling, horizontal curve of space dictates a more leisurely pace.<\/span><\/p>\n <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Big Bagel by Sabine Allaeys, scribbly black arrows by Howard Bloom &#8211; he should be ashamed of himself<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">Like a cannonball reaching the high point of its curve, the universe and anti-matter universe begin to run out of the energy that has shot them apart from each other. Which leads to the second physics question of the day. What is dark energy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">The two universes reach the bagel\u2019s high and low point at the 7.7 billion year mark. Then the downward slope of the bagel tells them to speed up again.<\/span><\/p>\n <span style=\"color: #000000;\">image by Bryan Brandenburg<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">Why does the matter in the two universes accelerate? Where does the extra energy that rushes galaxies apart from each other come from? The answer? Gravity. As it slips down the bagel\u2019s outer slope, the normal universe falls under the seductive sway of the anti-matter universe\u2019s gravity and speeds up. And the anti-matter universe is caught by the come-hither power of the matter universe\u2019s gravity. It, too, speeds up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">How will the universe end? At the bagel\u2019s outer edge,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">The two equal but opposite universes meet and do what matter and anti-matter always do. They annihilate. But here\u2019s the trick. They annihilate in a burst of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n <span style=\"color: #000000;\">incompetent sketch by Howard Bloom<\/span>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">And the bagel\u2019s outer rim is also its center. So the explosion of annihilation is, guess what? The next big bang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: #000000;\">That\u2019s it: the Big Bagel.
