It will be quite sometime till I catch up to the implications of this since my math is abysmal{Good news is I am working to improve it and am succeding} but there is a question that has floated in my head for some time concerning the equivalence of gravity and acceleration as put forth by a book I read on relativity that Einstein wrote.Since gravity is an acceleration experienced in the presence of mass is there some connection to the expansion of space and its local interaction with mass thT produce the acceleration we experience as gravity?
If space is expanding at a given rate{hubble expansion} does this expansion pertain to the space within atoms as well? Would this somehow mean that atoms are expanding with the universe but since the expansion is equal across all of spacetime then the relative sizes do not change and we cannot therefore measure a difference?
Please point out the error in my thinking since I am sure it is there but, as is the case with personal theories, it needs criticim of an evidentiary sort to drive them away. Thanks and I appreciate the links as I find them full of substance,though I do hope I will be able to better appreciate it as I realize my goals with math.
