Insight can be gotten here.
It has been staring us in the face.
Newtons gravitational constant has fundamental CGS units.
It is (centimeters cubed) per (gram second squared).
We can rearrange it a bit and make it:
(centimeters cubed per gram) per (second squared)
Note this constant is very small... but it is a positive number. And if we look at our second description, we see that it is something per second squared.
When you have something per second squared, it is an acceleration.
What is the something? It is centimeters cubed per gram...
Sound familiar? It should. It is the inverse of the density.
So Newtons constant is a measure of the acceleration of the inverse of the density. It is a positive, albeit small number. That means that the inverse of the density of the universe is getting bigger over time, and the speed is increasing.
If the inverse of something gets bigger, that means the something is getting smaller.
So the density of the universe is getting smaller over time, and the rate of it shrinking is going up. The volume of the universe is growing very fast (I believe at C).
The constant itself tells us the universe is getting less dense, thus expanding, and the rate is going up!
BUT...! There are questions. Is this apparent result a type of artifact of sorts that pops out because of the CGS system itself? The way we measure and interpret force(s)?
Still alot of questions.
I have a solution I developed, but am not inclined to go into details. Suffice to say that gravity is not a remnant of mass, but is more of a remnant of empty? space. It’s a topology sort of thing...

Fascinating, djf! I'd love to hear the details, if you ever become inclined thataway!
