He says that rather than pushing space apart, dark energy appears
to have changed over time and was in fact drawing space together in
the early universe. What that means for the fate of the universe is
not clear, but it seems to open a Pandora's box of outlandish
possibilities for dark energy, he says: "With quintessence, you can
do anything you want."
But this is exactly what gravimagnetic theory suggests, or at least I
suggested. The furthest stars receed faster and thus the red shift
of gravitational photons will get stronger, reducing the hold of the
universe on them (gravitational photons attract rather than repel.)
Also,the further away from the bang, the more gravitons are in
transit, thus the less attraction to the center of the universe.
Additionally, the gravimagnetic force (due to similar spins) wanes as
the 1/d^4 with distance d, so that component disappears entirely.
Furthher, the existence of the gravimagnetic force causes a
misreading (too high) of the masses of close objects (and thus some
component of dark matter - an illusion). Hopefully (if I remeber
correctly) this is all spelled out quantitatively in:

One interesting upshot of this is that the outer regions part of the
universe could expand forever, while the inner regions could be
caught in an infinite contract-explode loop. I think this is was a
new concept back when I first posted it.
