The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), which permeates all of space, exhibits small temperature variations depending on direction - an effect known as the CMB dipole. One possible explanation for this dipole is the existence of a universal rest frame. In this framework, we propose that the expansion of the universe is driven by the release of strain energy originating from residual stresses left by the Big Bang. This mechanism suggests that the timeline of the universe corresponds to a closed, decelerating universe.

Based on the definition that dark energy is the release of strain energy, its magnitude will eventually diminish to zero. Since gravity is a runaway force, the universe will begin to contract once all strain energy has been released. A higher gravitational potential results in a greater accretion rate, causing more pronounced distortion of Aakasha. When a massive black hole ingests matter, the region of Aakasha near the black hole distorts, expanding rapidly along the temporal direction and compressing along the spatial direction. This effect is the opposite of the influence that dark energy currently exerts on the universe. When conditions become favorable for pair production, more energy will be required to create matter than antimatter, as the universe will be expanding along the time axis. At the big crunch, this antimatter imbalance will create conditions suitable for a new big bang.

 When this imbalance leads to the annihilation of sufficient baryons already present outside the core, it will result in a drop in gravitational stress due to the reduced amount of matter. This, in turn, will cause dark matter in the central core that is spinning at relativistic speeds to escape into the surrounding volume, although the released dark matter will still be trapped by the gravitational field. The rapid release of strain energy after the big bang, caused by dark matter escaping from the central core of the black hole into the surrounding region, marks the period of inflation. Once all dark matter in the central core has been released during the inflationary period, the rate of strain energy release will be determined solely by the reduction of stresses due to the expansion of the universe.
