There was a very interesting article in the past Sunday's (May 27th) Parade insert to the Birmingham News. The article is by the chair of the Department of Physics at Yale.
Scientists have discovered that the expansion of the universe is 'speeding up' which can only be caused by some form of energy that opposes gravity. Currently, they are referring to this form of energy as 'Dark Energy', and it could be the most important scientific breakthrough of the last 50 years.
