Dark Energy Keeps the Universe in Check



Apparently recent research by scientist Alexey Vikhlinin using NASA's X-Ray Satellite Observatory has led him to propose that mysterious dark energy prevents galaxies from growing forever. This dark energy keeps the giant clusters of matter under a strict diet and prevents the galaxy from getting to big. While it is unclear what creates this dark energy it does seem to lead to a dualist view of the universe. There always must be a balance.
