The theory offers an explanation for the recent discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe."

This just reeks of the "Particle of the Week" writing that ST:V indulged in so frequently.
What next - the hypothesis that the universe will undergo a "Big Rip", but then the interaction of the accelerons and the whetions will reset the timeline and everything will be back to normal?
