What Causes the Big Crunch and How Does it Affect the Universe's Expansion?

In summary: I am still trying to piece everything together myself and I appreciate any help I can get!)Gravity affects space by contracting it. Space can remain mostly empty if gravity affects only matter.

Sri...good find from MIT:

They showed that the matter's orbit in the accretion disk would wobble, much as a child's top wobbles when it slows down. The frequency at which it would wobble, based on their calculations, turned out to be the same frequency as the actual oscillations in intensity of the x-ray emissions previously measured by other researchers. They theorized that this wobble is evidence of frame-dragging, because the matter's orbit can only wobble if the space and time in which it exists are being dragged.

a possible verification of frame dragging?? So they think...

Maybe the accretion disk is the gamma rays burst in young galaxies...
