I say inflation, I might possibly not mean it. I've read that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, and it's a mystery why, but my question is why isn't it expected to appear that way?
If the masses of galaxies are spiralling towards the center where gravity is highest, and as more mass moves towards the center, space-time becomes more and more warped quicker and quicker as gravity increases, why wouldn't the space-time between galaxies curve quicker and quicker, redshifting the light?
In my head I picture it as the back of a chesterfield sofa, where galaxies are the studs and space-time is the leather inbetween
Where have I gone wrong? I admit "dark energy" just seems too stretched of an idea for me
