This isn't a new theory at all, but it's pretty interesting.
I read up on this a lot years ago, but basically, when you add up all the forces in the universe, everything has to have an opposite force to balance out the universe but something doesn't add up and so there is a missing force out there that is a huge chunk of the universe just like there might be dark matter out there.
It used to be called Einstein's Flub Factor because he had to throw in this constant in his calculations to make things actually work out. He always thought he was wrong about them and just fudging his numbers and the community also though this cosmological constant wasn't genuine but new evidence shows there is indeed a force that seems to be counteracting the force of gravity...otherwise the universe would contract into the big crunch.
