Okay. I was just under the impression that if gravity caused macro objects to be pulled towards each other, the galaxies would not be getting farther apart, like they are doing.

So, space inside each atom is not effected by the inflation of space? Is that space inside an atom special?

Because if expansion of space is true, wouldn't the size atoms be related to the size of the Universe?

Then forget gravity. If there is space inside each atom, would it not also have to obey the expansion of space? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space

I've been searching and trying to find an answer to this. I'm not scholar or physics major. I'm asking for some guidance about this subject. The big bang theory, leaves me with the impression that atoms can change size. Is this true? Can gravitational forces compress, can atoms...
