That's utterly wrong. Massive matter tends to slow down the expansion of the Universe. Gravitational attraction of matter pulls the Universe inward, not pushes outward. That's why Einstein needed to add the cosmological term, to balance the inward pull of gravity.
At any rate, all of this is irrelevant on the scale of a solar system, where cosmological effects are minute. |
I think Joe might be about to take the final step into crackpottery. Cantor was wrong, and now we might be about to find out Einstein was wrong too. And Hubble. And the team who discovered the acceleration of the expansion. I think Joe has already said that the universe will collapse, which is contrary to the current understanding of the prevailing model.
We may be witnessing the birth of a whole new cosmological model. Perhaps he is a little jealous of Mapou. |
Newton, also.
