The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of the universe is constant, but the universe is constantly expanding, so how does the energy stay constant considering the expansion?

I think this is physics based(?), but I thought of this question during my summer chemistry course, so I wasn’t sure of the flair.

The non-uniform expansion of the universe is evidence against the notion of an isotropic Big Bang. Dark energy makes the notion of a Big Bang superfluous.

[Black holes banish matter into cosmic voids](http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Black_holes_banish_matter_into_cosmic_voids_999.html)

>Some of the matter falling towards the [supermassive black] holes is converted into energy. This energy is delivered to the surrounding gas, and leads to large outflows of matter, which stretch for hundreds of thousands of light years from the black holes, reaching far beyond the extent of their host galaxies.

Our visible universe is in the outflow of our universe’s hypermassive black hole. As ordinary matter falls toward the hypermassive black hole it evaporates into dark matter. It is the dark matter outflow which pushes the galaxy clusters, causing them to move outward and away from us. The dark matter outflow is dark energy.

The galaxy clusters which have been pushed for longer than we have are accelerating outward and away from us. We are accelerating outward and away from the galaxy clusters which have been pushed for less time than we have. From our perspective most of the galaxy clusters are accelerating away from us.

Dark energy is the dark matter outflow associated with our universe’s hypermassive black hole.

You toss a bunch of ping pong balls into a fast flowing stream. As long as the stream is flowing faster than the ping pong balls the ping pong balls are going to accelerate. As the ping pong balls empty into a lake, again, as long as the stream is flowing faster than the ping pong balls, the ping pong balls are going to continue to accelerate as they move outward and away from one another.

In the analogy, the fast flowing stream emptying into the lake is dark energy, the water is dark matter and the ping pong balls are the galaxy clusters. The ping pong balls displace the water. The water pushing back and exerting pressure toward the ping pong balls is gravity.

[Dark flow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_flow) is the outflow along the pole of the hypermassive black hole, concentrated along the axis.

>Astronomers have discovered a giant cosmic void that explains why our Local Group of galaxies is moving through the universe as fast as it is.

The void is where the dark matter is able to flow through unimpeded, pushing the Milky Way.

[The universe may have been born spinning, according to new findings on the symmetry of the cosmos](https://phys.org/news/2011-07-universe-born-symmetry-cosmos.html)

>If the universe was born rotating, like a spinning basketball, Longo said, it would have a preferred axis, and galaxies would have retained that initial motion.
Is the universe still spinning?
“It could be,” Longo said. “I think this result suggests that it is.”

The universe has a preferred axis of rotation because we are in the outflow of the hypermassive black hole.

[Astronomers discover mysterious alignment of black holes](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160411130033.htm)

>Since these black holes don’t know about each other, or have any way of exchanging information or influencing each other directly over such vast scales, this spin alignment must have occurred during the formation of the galaxies in the early universe

The reason for the alignment is due to the galaxies being in the outflow of the hypermassive black hole.
