Good story!
Well, if we ARE expanding at an increasing rate, then maybe all the jillion’s of suns that are converting matter into energy are pushing on the accelerator?
Either that or there is a decimal point wondering the universe.
Or, maybe, they used metric instead of English measurements??
There is an online course from Yale, I think it is, of astrophysics for non-science majors. If you ever get the chance, take it. The lecturer is great and puts stuff in terms you can remember without all the annoying math. Can’t recommend it enough.

Randell Mills had published a theory early 90’s which competed with the quantum theories, pertaining to physics. Based on Mill’s theoretical take of the universe, he predicted an accelerated expansion of the universe before publication of astronomical observations which contradicted Hubble’s constant rate of expansion. Mass-to-energy conversion was shown in his equations as the driving mechanism directly connected to an acceleration factor of expansion.
