Imagine cosmic batteries weighing a trillion Suns, with a charge that rips apart the void. Scientists tested whether these sparks from the early Universe could replace dark energy. Alas, in a homogeneous cosmos, their repulsion fades too quickly, like a spark in a thunderstorm. The mystery remains.

🎯 At a distance of a million light-years, the electric repulsion between two astrons is comparable to the weight of Mount Everest—enough to accelerate them to a noticeable fraction of the speed of light.
