According to the new proposition, the universe is not
accelerating, as observations suggest. Instead, an expanding wave flowing
throughout space-time causes distant galaxies to appear to be accelerating away
from us. This big wave, initiated by the
Big Bang that is thought to have sparked the universe, could explain why
objects appear to be farther away from us than they should be according to the
Standard Model of cosmology.

If you choose to use to use any language which our editors feel is vulgar -- by their standards -- your comment may be tagged "Crude or Lewd" and may be filtered out of the discussion by those who prefer not to read that sort of thing. If you know you have entered something which will cause your comment to be tagged, we ask that you tag it yourself to save us the time. We do encourage everyone to be civil and not make rude attacks on other people in the Forum. We don't censor out those remarks, but few people enjoy reading them and we would like participation in our Forums to be a pleasant experience for everyone. And, by concentrating on what is said instead of who is saying it, even those who may disagree with you will be more likely to consider your opinions valid.
