Is the above related to the strong force, which is commonly thought to be an attractive force that increases with distance?

"Their causal identity is the physically accelerating expansion of the universe at large."

Also, what is the universe expanding into? Perhaps your explanation may be more satisfatory than others.

Dear Nobody:
Can't say as I know of any force of attraction that increases with distance. To the best of my knowledge that quality is uniquely applicable to the Cosmological Constant, which is a repelling force which increases with distance.

Will you tell me where you learned of an attractive force that increases with distance?

There are different schools of thought on where, when and how the universe is expanding, some say the universe is finite, some say it's infinite. Some say it's an 'open' universe', some say it's closed, and some say - in the words or Einstein, that 'the universe is finite in space but unbounded in time'. I happen to agree with Einstein's view on this issue.
