"why the expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating"

Yep, we're just one big explosion that hasn't stopped yet. Still in the momentum phase, but can that ever stop in infinite space?

Not just momentum, the expansion is accelerating and at an exponential rate

The prevailing physics says space isn’t infinite. That concept is difficult to take in, because we are biased to think of a big bang as happening in space; and to think that space (and time) exist independently of the universe.
