Hmmmmm, now then, how about we mix the Laws of Physics with the Laws of Motion?

What do you say about "An object, when propelled by a force will continue in the direction of that force until acted upon by another force" ?? (OK, I've re-written it a bit but it's easier when less "technical"?)

So what was the force that "propelled" everything? Oh, you want the word "expanding" used instead? Play on then?

Now, we're told the Universe is expanding at a faster rate and it's claimed that some force is causing this?

How about the "resistance" exerted on the moving bodies is becoming less rather than some unknown force is causing the speed-up?

Now within our own atmosphere, we know that eventually an object slows down after being propelled by an initial force and it was thought that moving things (Stars, galaxies et al) would also slow down eventually.

To "explain" the surprising speed-up, "they" have hypothesised a few things to account for it (the increase in speed).

Who says that whatever was "contained" in the seemingly empty space (which wasn't there !!!)  is getting less and less the further the Universe "expands" (there's that word) allowing the Universe and it's contents to pick up speed?

It's OK for some to hypothesise and invent things to "make" the Standard Model "fit" so why can't I chuck a few hypotheticals in to the mix?
