Expansion of 4-D Matter Notebook

[RascalPuff]

Steady State advocate here.

With the proposed accelerating expansion of corporeal matter, the density of the spatial universe remains steady, because matter itself is proportionately enlarging with the enlargement of space, ad infinitum..

In accordance with my interpretations, 'dark energy' is another - (new, 1998 vintaged) - word for what used to be called (Einstein's) 'cosmological constant' - a repelling force generated by all matter, 'just like gravity' but causing things to move outwardly instead of inwardly. Unlike gravity, the cosmological constant (dark energy) force increases - instead of decreasing - with distance. This is why the universe is not merely expanding, but rather undergoing an accelerating expansion. The more distant the light source, the faster it is receding. Date of entry - 11/13/07

Like I've said what feels like hundreds of times, dark energy is not just some new version of the cosmological constant. Yes the cosmological constant could be the answer to dark energy, but then so could other things.
