I just thought: if fusion makes heavier elements, it makes sense that the universe expands faster... And I don't even know how I got there...<p>fusion makes elements heavier.<p>Heavier collections of elements make more gravity.<p>(is the creation of matter limited in our universe?)
In bucket with limited supply of new matter, through fusion the existing matter makes clumps which get heavier and heavier. But the substrate will thin everywhere else.<p>Supermassive black holes make more gravity.<p>The more compression there is, the more heat is generated,<p>And matter switches state at some point. (solid -> gaseous -> plasma -> another step -> another step?)<p>If the matter "becomes" dark energy as a new sort of state, it could get "flung" out like two electrons with the same poles.<p>Since Energy doesn't get lost, there's no other way than to "collect" at the fringes of the universe<p>If the universe was like a baloon in the universe it would push the boundaries of the bucket indefinitely.<p>Gravity is kinda like our substrate, not sure if fish are aware about their water being "heavier or less heavy", not sure if this analogy will ever hold up...<p>can someone let me know if I got some of it right?
