Ok, so I might be a bit obsessed with black holes, but hey, can't blame a guy, amirite? :p
So there's this new idea that came out, namely that black holes ARE the source of dark energy pushing everything away. And there seems to be a very strong correlation (99.98% confidence) between the masses of supermassive blackholes in galaxies at various distances, and the third power of how much the universe had expanded at that point in time. It also seems to explain pretty much the whole 68% of the universe being dark energy.
The gist seems to be that assuming black holes still contain void energy, as they grow they must put SOMETHING out to obey conservation of energy. Otherwise that void energy would be on top of the matter falling in. That something may just be the dark energy.

Fascinating stuff...
