Dark Energy Socks

Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive force that counteracts gravity and causes the universe to expand at an accelerating rate.

Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding (proved by red shift), but thought that gravity would slow the expansion. But in the 1990’s, calculations of the movement of supernovae proved that the rate of expansion is increasing.
