In 2011 Saul Perlmutter of Berkeley National Laboratory, Brian Schmidt of the Australian National University, and Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Institute were awarded the Nobel prize for running 3 independent teams; all studying the effects of our galaxy 's expansion and confirming that the expansion is speeding up.

It is suspected that a mysterious force called dark matter makes up a good percentage of the material value and gravitational fields, and that dark energy is the a lack of energy over space time fields, composing two different forces in our universe. Scientists are working hard to confirm these theories, which might not be possible unless there was a force working against the inward pull of gravity.
