I Acceleration of Universe Expansion: 1/r2
It seems to me as the space between galaxies expands it reduces the gravitational attraction between them. Assuming that this is happening between the majority of the galaxies in our Universe it would cause the acceleration of expansion by a factor of 1/r2. -
