for the record: I resent being
forced to "break character". if I can't play stupid, I do not wish to play at all.
the gravitational pull of my posts (secondary to their increasing mass) is about to cause
yr everything to collapse.

I think what you are trying to say is that "due to gravitation effect being weaker (at distance),
expansion itself is making it easier to expand".
I believe that you may be mistaking Newton's gravitational
constant with
local gravitational fields. gravity is such a weak force at distance, that despite it's ability to traverse great distance, the actual force applied (or in yr case, lack thereof) is too negligable to account for the excessive acceleration.
it's a fairly simple equation to compute gravitational pull between two astral bodies (F=G[m1m2/r^2]), so I'm going to go on the assumption that the Big Heads have worked this out on their slide-rules.
you need to look toward the
cosmological constant (and it's basis in negative-pressure energy) for yr answer (or again, maybe, jesus).
