Re: The 'curvature of space-time' is the physical expansion of matter.

No worries old friend. ... but please remember, that if i am taking you right, your contention is that all of space is expanding. This perforce includes the space within us, and therfore matter is expanding as well.

The more conventional contention is that macro-cosmically your hypothesis is true, with the difference that the expansion is being driven by dark-matter. Dark matter in the micro context is incapable of overcoming gravity and the Electro-magnetic force.. Therefore matter is not expanding with space.

There are also other problems with your hypothesis, as we have discussed in other threads.

some are:

Your hypothesis needs to explain the weak nuclear force.
the strong nuclear force
and the unsolved problem of

Accelerating universe and the Cosmological constant

Why doesn't the zero-point energy of the vacuum cause a large cosmological constant? What cancels it out? Is a non-total cancellation of the cosmological constant responsible for the observed accelerated expansion (deSitter phase) of the Universe? If it is, why is the energy density of the cosmological constant of the same magnitude as the density of matter at present when the two evolve quite differently over time; could it be simply that we are observing at exactly the right time? Or is the nature of the dark energy driving this acceleration different?
cool bananas ... we are in partial agreement. .. greg
