Loved this headline in the NYT this morning:
Astrophysicists scramble to patch a hole in the universe, rewriting cosmic history in the process.
Have Dark Forces Been Messing With the Cosmos?
There was, you might say, a disturbance in the Force.
Long, long ago, when the universe was only about 100,000 years old — a buzzing, expanding mass of particles and radiation — a strange new energy field switched on. That energy suffused space with a kind of cosmic antigravity, delivering a not-so-gentle boost to the expansion of the universe.
Then, after another 100,000 years or so, the new field simply winked off, leaving no trace other than a speeded-up universe.

My first association at the thread title was Hitchhikers' Guide and as always it brought a smile to my face
