The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to two teams of physicists for discovering that the rate at which the universe is expanding is accelerating. The scientists came to this conclusion based on their analysis of a supernova, which is a type of exploding star.
One half of the award goes to Brian P. Schmidt of Australian National University and Adam G. Riess of Johns Hopkins University and the Space Telescope Science Institute. The other half of the prize goes to Saul Perlmutter from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be announced tomorrow.

The 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery that
the rate of expansion of the universe is increasing

Nobody knows the reason of ‘ big bang’. My opinion:
The action, when the God of Everything, compressed the
whole Universe into his palm, the scientists named ‘singular point’
And the action, when the God of Everything, opened his palm
the scientists named ‘Big Bang’
Does evolution begin on big bang level ?
At what step does consciousness begin?
Does consciousness begin on big bang level ?
What is our intellect ?
We can see this practically :
after ‘ big bang‘ all Galaxies run away from us

What was before: egg or chicken?
Oh, I know this question is very old and does not have answer.
Therefore I will ask a simpler question:
What was before: ‘ big bang’ or vacuum?

Dark Energy may be Vacuum
