A universe made of positive matter would repel a universe
made of negative matter.These two universes would need some attractive
force to make them oscillate towards and away from one  another.A
constant number of vacuum particles in and around,and joining the
universes together, would emit energy as space expands (to account for
the observed geometry of the universe).When it has emitted all the
energy of its excited states the vacuum would start reabsorbing energy
again and the universes would move together again as space contracts.
In the positive mass universe a charge surrounded by mass-causing
particles (magnetic particles?)and moving through space
would compress mass-causing particles in front of it (magnetic
particles?).Behind the charge a gap would form in the mass-causing
particles and this would have to be filled by energy
emitted by vacuum particles, or the charge would slow down because
of the pressure difference.So, in this scenario,a charge moving through
space causes the emission of energy from the vacuum.
If some of this energy becomes new charges then their movement
will cause even more energy to be emitted from the vacuum per unit time
and the expansion of the universe will accelerate.The same mechanism
would apply to the negative mass antimatter universe too.
