Dark energy is a poorly understood force that seems to be pulling the Universe apart. It was first spotted in 1998 by astronomers, including Riess, who were studying the violent deaths of distant stars.
Heck I'll have to recheck my calculations! I thought the universe was being pulled apart by centrifugal force. Hmmm maybe centrifugal force is just a measure of dark energy's effect on matter.
