Gravity affects matter, but according to ye ol’ raisin bread dough theory it’s not matter but space that’s expanding. Why would scientists use the properties of matter and gravity to understand something that has nothing to do with either?
If we understand the properties of “space” and what’s causing it to expand, we will be able to predict whether it will one day (or eon) collapse.
