wacky idea i had about black holes and dark energy

o i was thinking about how scientists say that the expansion of the universe is accelerating over time. and i thought about what else has been happening over time: black holes sucking up matter. there was another thread recently that asked if our universe came from a black hole in another universe. what if black holes lead to another dimension instead (one of the 11 we supposedly have). theory says that a black hole crushes matter to a singularity, right? what if all that matter is being crushed into another dimension? and the effect of this is dark energy. the more matter that gets sent to this other dimension, the stronger effect it has. hence, expanding acceleration. any takers?

Indeed , the recent Lindau Meeting discussed the topic Dark Matter , Dark Energy , and the LHC . See http : www.lindau-nobel.org
Exploring our dark universe is usually the domain of extreme physics. Clues to dark matter and energy are searched for by huge neutrino telescopes and particle detectors, deep underground, and by experiments launched into space. But an experiment doesn't have to be exotic to explore the unexplained. At the International Conference on High Energy Physics, which ends today in Paris, scientists from the GammeV-CHASE experiment unveiled the first results from their experiment, which used 30 hours' worth of data from a 10-meter-long experiment to place the world's best limits on particles of dark energy.
CERN's press release issued today states that the LHC's first measurements are allowing them to “rediscover” the Standard Model of particle physics. But the presentations at ICHEP tell a slightly different story.
It might be a long way to the top, but the LHC experiments are already half way there: at the ICHEP conference in Paris CMS and ATLAS presented their first candidates for top quark, the heaviest particle in the Standard Model.
