The surprising universe and little black holes as power producers

One of the most remarkable and exciting discoveries of 1998 revealed that the universe is accelerating in its expansion. The implication is that the universe is older, bigger and less dense than previously thought. This discovery was totally unanticipated. It calls long-standing cosmological theories into question. It may shed light on the enigma that some stars appear to be older than the previously accepted age of the universe. One viable explanation that emerges is related to radially inward radiation from little black holes that accelerates them and the rest of the universe outward. The author describes how the new discoveries radically change the concept of what drives the macrocosm and initiate a fundamentally new quest for the laws that govern the universe on a large scale.
