    i think it also mentioned the paralle universes where the electron will suddenly change course for no reason, and we don't know why, but it is electrons colliding into them from other unverses...

    Dark matter...

    The universe doesn't have nearly enough visible mass to sustain itself.

    Theres a tug of war going on between the gravity of the universe, and the force of its expansion.

    Gravity's the only thing keeping the universe from instantly expanding into infinite nothingness...

    With all the matter in the universe we can see... theres not nearly enough to keep the universe together... It would already have been flung into dark empty space.

    So there has to be tons of matter we can't see...

    dark matter.

    There are only two possible things that would happen to the universe... either it would expand forever, or it would contract in on itself.

    This depends on how much mass there is in the universe... a critical level... if the universe has enough mass... it'll contract, and if it doesn't it'll expand forever.

    Lately we've been able to determine the universe has more then enough mass to implode in on itself.

    But it's not doing that... its expanding even more rapidly,

    which means theres a force outside the universe tugging on it.
