'Some Inflationary Einstein-Aether Cosmologies'
http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.2882
"Discussion - We have shown how a series of simple ansatze allow exact
solutions to be found for Einstein-Aether cosmologies. These models
provide exact descriptions of inflationary dynamics in the very early
universe or the transition to accelerated expansion at recent
cosmological epochs. They show the explicit contribution of the aether
field to creating accelerated expansion in situations where inflation
would not occur in its absence."
Aether is, or behaves similar to, a superfluid with properties of a
solid; an incompressible fluid.

"The universe was born spinning and continues to do so around a
preferred axis"
The Universe spins around a preferred axis because the Universe is, or
the local Universe we exist in is in, a jet; analogous to the polar
jet of a black hole.
'Mysterious Cosmic 'Dark Flow' Tracked Deeper into Universe'

'The clusters appear to be moving along a line extending from our
solar system toward Centaurus/Hydra, but the direction of this motion
is less certain. Evidence indicates that the clusters are headed
outward along this path, away from Earth, but the team cannot yet rule
out the opposite flow. "We detect motion along this axis, but right
now our data cannot state as strongly as we'd like whether the
clusters are coming or going," Kashlinsky said.'
The clusters are headed along this path because the Universe is, or
the local Universe we exist in is in, a jet.
The following is an image analogous of the Universal jet.

The reason for the 'expansion' of the universe is the continual
emission of aether into the Universal jet. Three dimensional space
associated with the Universe itself is not expanding. What we see in
our telescopes is the matter associated with the Universe moving
outward and away from the Universal jet emission point. In the image
above, '1st Stars' is where the increase in pressure caused by the
aether continually being emitted into the Universal jet causes the
aether to condense into matter.

Universe, we exist in.

Dark flow is the aether emitted into the Universal jet. Dark energy is
