    But the boundary of our matter universe is getting annihilated into outside antimatter universe on opposite entropy path producing dark energy which is injected into our universe for causing gravity,accelerating expansion etc etc. Do we have any means to verify it so that it may even mean that our galaxies are flying away only to get consumed at boundary and our universe is actually shrinking in spite of red shift etc etc.

    Einstein in special theory of relativity is talking about space-time warping and rejecting the ideas of Newton of matter pulling each other theory ,but again he is talking that universe can not be static as all matter will collapse due to pull of each other, so there should a force of repulsion which he said cosmology constant . Einstein is not very clear about what he is talking. Are we not cheating ourselves in all our theories from atomic model to four forces theory ,then combining them by hook or by crook for grand unification etc etc. Unless physics is overhauled thoroughly, I am afraid we will be beating about the bush. The new particle in CERN and may be more experiments to see whether standard model,relativity,quantum physics etc etc are valid as we see today. Read the theories of Durgadas Datta revising all concepts in modern physics.
