Observations of X-rays in galaxy clusters made from NASA’s orbiting Chanrda telescope confirm that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Analysis of supernova explosions and patterns in the cosmic microwave background already pointed to this, and all three give indicate that 75% of the energy in the universe is of the repulsive type needed to make the universe expand.
Repulsive? Expanding? They couldn’t be talking about…naah! I’m on a diet!
