The Universe is accelerating because, in its early youth, it lost its balance — like a pencil toppling from its tip.

A tiny dilaton particle, born from the breaking of the Universe's perfect symmetry, could explain why galaxies are racing apart faster than predicted. Its energy, like a slowly uncoiling spring, gradually changes the stretching of the cosmos.

🎯 The name 'dilaton' comes from the Latin dilatare — 'to expand' — and perfectly captures its cosmic role: it makes the Universe grow.
