pretty far out there but this came to me just now. if in the theory that the universe wastes nothing, it simply gets transformed into something else. then could new forms of matter, be it a new baby, a flower being grown or such like, be forcing the universe to expand in order to accomodate this new matter? and with matter popping into existence all the time all over the universe then this could explain the speed at which it is expanding. just an idea y'know![]()
