Energy disperses? Since when? Where does it go to? Ever heard of the Law of the Conservation of Energy?

Has that been determined? Or have they just determined that they haven't determined anything? And what would be causing the acceleration? What would be pushing us away from everything else? Anti-gravitons? No. There are two theories for The End Of The Universe. One is the Big Void, where everything gets really far apart from everything else forever and ever, or the Big Crunch, where everything crunches back together. Kind of like this:
You throw a ball up into the air. The act of throwing it up can be compared to the Big Bang. Now, there's very little evidence to show that the ball will continue accelerating up forever. What usually happens (since the last time I checked) is that the ball comes back down and crunches (Big Crunch) onto the ground.

The beginning of the universe didn't have a temperature, because there was nothing to measure. It just wasn't. And when it was, it was billions upon billions upon billions of degrees C, because of all the energy packed into that infinitessimally small point.
I apologize if I appear snide.
