This question is open for chemists, metallurgists, physicists and astrophysicists:

Check out this diagram which has been released today on Universe inflation. It describes how the universe has been expanding with time. It says that the Universe, around 2 billion years after the Big Bang inflated at a rate of 1% every 44 million years. The expansion decelerated under the influence of dark matter before the expansion continued under the influence of dark energy.

Now Let's look at another [quite similar] diagram, called creep diagram:

The diagram describes the elongation of a structure under a static load with time, across three stages before fracture.

It happens that a certain concept in a scientific field can be used to describe (and predict) a phenomenon in a seemingly (and sometimes totally) different scientific field.

Can these two diagrams help make the case, one day?
