What I am about to write is probably wrong. I am not a scientist. I think in pictures mostly. When problems are presented a picture appears in my mind.

When I read about the problem of a force acting contrary to the force of gravity - a force that is "ripping the cosmos apart" this is what I saw:

Analogous to a heart beating kind of. A beat happens. In the middle of the beat before the heart contracts after having expanded there is a pause. Within the pause are the mysterious forces at play before the contraction of the heart muscle.

Now add to the picture that the universe is curved in on itself creating a large ball or sphere — which is a bit squashed. In addition there isn’t just one squashed ball or sphere but several in different dimensions, yet each are interacting with one another. Maybe the search for dark matter is futile because it’s too small in the largest context of — well the multiverse?

Could this be the context of the problem? Or is this pure fantasy?
