What-if 2. Pressure on the singularity became so great that it exploded.
What-if 3. Dark-matter/energy rushed into fill the new void, like an implosion.
What-if 4. About 5 billion years ago, the implosion had completed and recoiled as a secondary explosion to the big bang.
Even if there wasn't a dark-matter/energy black hole, and it simply was all that expansively encompassed the singularity quiescently, these what-ifs might explain the sudden acceleration in the expansion of the universe about 5 billion years ago.
