Despite a lot of scientists being at odds with the big bang theory, it is still considered as the most viable explanation behind the creation of the universe. The controversial theory suggests that everything came into being from a huge explosion that sent out particles flying from a singularity eventually forming all the matter that we see in the universe today.

Our understanding of the universe till recently, according to Einstein’s theory of general relativity was that the universe was expanding ever since the explosion of the big bang, but it should eventually begin to slow down expansion under the influence of the gravitational forces of all the objects in the universe. However, a couple of decades go, scientists realized that the universe was actually not slowing down but accelerating.

The cause of this acceleration was attributed to the opposing force which is now dubbed as the “dark energy” & makes up about 70% of the universe— the rest being another unknown which is termed as the “dark matter”, constitutes about 25% of the known universe. The only problem is that both…
