Default Space is boiling over with energy.

Space is boiling over with energy.

Or should I say, it's just beginning to boil.

I'm thinking it's remnant energy from an imperfect symmetry-breaking in the very early evolution of the universe.

Our space is energetic, in that it's producing more space, which is energetic.... making our universe not a closed system, with this input that appears to be from "outside."

Of course, "boiling" may be a little overstating. It is an extremely small input per very large volume of space, imperceptible locally. But throughout the vast, vast stretches of the visible universe, it apparently adds up. With such a small residual effect locally, the symmetry breaking must have been almost perfect.
