I re-read my last post and want to add this to expand on the comment about the acceleration of space.

But Ed, … This doesn't satisfactorily explain the acceleration of space, or are you saying we haven't equalised yet ?

Here is how I view the acceleration of space. Space itself doesn’t do anything. It is there and it has always been there.
Space is occupied by EEPs and the density of the EEPs in a given volume of space is referred to as the energy density of that space.
So in my view space does not expand; the EEPs that occupy the space of our arena are spreading out as energy density is being equalized with the lower energy density of the greater universe.
As matter forms from the energy density of space during that process of equalization it is naturally separating because if forms from EEPs that are separating. The “expansion” of the energy density is transferred to the particles that form from the energy density.
Appropriately enough, that momentum that is transferred to the initial atoms that form is also transferred to the initial stars that form and from there to the galaxies that form. The expansion of the matter in the universe, i.e. the apparent separation of galaxies from one another is established even before the first matter materializes from the expanding background of EEPs in space.
Understanding my view of the cause of the acceleration of the expansion is dependant on understanding the cause of the initial separation of matter within space, and then understanding how gravity is affected by the equalization and separation.
