Donuel, on your earlier post you mentioned the spinning rate of the galaxies being as fast at the edges as they were further in.

Something mindblowing I read, I believe on the Hubble/NASA site, is that previously it was thought that the further out from the center of the universe, things would slow down. You know, like they taught us in school, the big bang made everything go out and eventually it will stop and fall back in on itself, and keep repeating the process.

They have taken measurements now and found that objects further out are actually accelerating away from the center. I wonder what's pulling them, or maybe they are just falling over the edge?
