    Why? Why is it that matter at the edges of the universe appears to move faster then it should (according to modern theory). The simple solution is that there is non visible matter present holding the universe closer together then previously thought. This dark matter would act as a solidifier tying the ends to the middle making it having to keep up even though it has to travel longer distances to do so, simmilar to those death machines in playgrounds where you can go to the middle turntable and then proceed to step to the outer edge to enhance the risk of early neck trauma. Let's try and find some other ways into this phenomenon. The first argument I'll be presenting is a relativistic one. We know there are two ways to slow down time, one is to have a lot of mass, the other is to go really fast. If we want the entire universe to have undergone the same amount of entropy we need some way to compensate for the lack of mass. In order to stay within the same timeframe (implicit positive correlation between entropy and time) the matter at the edges of galaxies has to be moving faster. The second argument I'll be making has to do with the difference between rationality and irrationality. If we want to condense matters doing this rationally is probably your best bet, pretty much the reason why your mom is better at packing than you are. This translates to the positive correlation between matter density and rationality. In other words, matter at the edges of galaxies tends more towards irrationality. For a quick sidenote: the symmetry breaking (irrational) weak force doesn't act on light (strictly), this might clarify why this irrational matter is mostly invisible. Rationality is indifferent to direction, it doesn't really matter how you lay a football for a free kick. This is unless you believe in hitting the ball at the valve for that infamous knuckle effect, which is exactly keeping the irrationality behind the primary interaction surface, letting it act indifferent. But this is all a little to deep, so let's resurface. In principle an irrational object is a lot more unidirectional. Throwing an American football, orientation matters. The irrational shape of the American football allows it to cut the air better, allowing for greater throwing distances. Irrationality allowing for advantages doesn't break the principle of entropy, since any small advantage you gain in one orientation greatly increases the disadvantage of any other orientation. In short: reality is slowed down in two ways, mass and speed. The more rational condensed centers of galaxies are on the side of using mass while the irrational edges are more on the side of using speed. In this way there is at least an inclination towards less entropy.

    I always hated the college board’s definition of increasing. They say a function is increasing on an interval iff a>b => f(a)>f(b) for all a and b in the interval. This means that every point on every function is increasing (and decreasing), but you’re not really supposed to apply the term to single points so whatever. This definition means increasing and decreasing happens on closed intervals. The problem is that they define concavity in a totally different way. They say a function is concave up if the function’s derivative is increasing… by which they mean its derivative is positive, so it happens on open intervals. They change the definition of increasing and decreasing just for this topic!
