Resistance to expansion is the noticeable effect ?

In which case why is my earlier statement that gravity (or some force ?) is driving the expansion of space, but matter is clumping and clustering within space, being subject to the electro-nuclear forces which overcome gravity, why is this not a valid view also.

Putting aside your own view for the moment, can you negate my view ?

By George, Greg, I thiink you're on to something. Doesn't appear that your view need be put aside. Can't say that either view excludes the other. On this road less traveled it seems our courses are about parallel and not mutually exclusive. It still appears that the 'electro-nuclear forces which overcome gravity', are gravity, in comparative microcosmic moments of accelerating expansion (Where the 'present' gravitational forces are much more dense and intense).
Can't say as I disagree with you, Greg. Might this be a matter of interpretive semantics?
