- TL;DR Summary
- I just have a few musings about how newtonain physics could be applied to the accelerating universe.
So I know that people say that Newtonian physics can't be applied alone to the total of the cosmos, as the universe is expanding outward in contradiction to the Newtonian principles. My question has to do with the force and energy regarding the big bang. We know that the big bang was a huge release of energy and force outwards. Could the increasing acceleration of the universe be attributed to the massive force of the big bang inducing an acceleration that hasn't become negative due to the sheer force? And later in time the gravity of the universe will eventually slow the acceleration? Sorry if this is a dumb question and if you can't follow my logic, I'm new to astrophysics and am not well versed on the topic, but I was curious.
