The universe is expanding at an accelerated rate, but you're calling that gravityad are we allowed to do that yet? In what senseisay, well, this is dark energy, andit's, it's actually the opposite of gravity. The very expansion of the universe is carrying galaxies in the fabric of exactly the expanding space time. So in way, we are moving, in a sense, not through space, but with space, and space is carried ot yot.
