Rascal, you can't have uniform density, and a spatially expanding universe. The two concepts are mutually excluded by the very laws of physics... Or, do you mean changing density over time, as your "relative" adjective implies... Language is so horrible...

Ergo, the presently abandoned 'Steady State' universe is consequently reinstated.

In this setting, the accelerating expansion of corporeal matter can account for - and be the cause of - the expansion of space, and the maintenence of relative, uniform density.

The physical universe may be expanding with - and the cause of - the spatially expanding universe.
