EXPANDING UNIVERSE, Adam Riess interview on 'The NewsHour', 2-27-98: pbs.org Q: And so you're finding [expansion]'s speeding up, and why? ADAM RIESS: That's a very good question. As I said, our naive expectation is gravity would cause it to slow down. And the less gravity we have, the less it would slow down. And yet, it should never really speed up unless there's some other force, or some other sort of energy out there, which is acting in the opposite direction of gravity. Now, Albert Einstein had suggested even back in the 1920's that there might be such a force. He called it his cosmological constant and described it as a repulsive force, something that goes in the opposite direction of gravity. So, we're trying very hard to figure out what's going on with this data. But the implication seems to be that this cosmological constant, this repulsive force might exist and might actually be pushing the universe out faster, overcoming gravity. .............................................................................
