The two faces of gravity

Gravity may have has two aspects, micro or local, and macro or distant. Without this duality we are left with the puzzle of the missing mass. That is, on the galactic level there is not enough mass to account for the gravity effect noted. For this reason scientists assumed that dark matter must exist to make up the difference.(extra mass that cannot be seen)

But the need for dark matter disappears if two different processes are involved. On the micro or local level, gravity might be the result of the accelerating expansion of matter (not vacuum). As we are composed of matter we do have any way sense this action, other than from the effect of acceleration. Picture being pushed back in your seat as your car accelerates. You may feel something similar in an elevator.

On the galactic level we have a background that allows us to observe the difference in the rates of the acceleration of vacuum vs. matter.

If vacuum expands less quickly than matter, than matter would appear to be closing together. This is exactly the attraction that effect we expect to see from gravity.

Thus we have the all that we expect from gravity, being pulled to the earth due to effect of acceleration and noting heavenly bodies attract each other due to the relative shrinking of intervening space
