"Mysterious Dark Matter Becomes More Mysterious"

| QUOTE |
According to a new study, large amounts of dark matter do not surround the Sun, despite some widely accepted theories.

Matter may play a part? |
The inertia is hypothesized to be the contribution left over from inflation, which is just a much faster, early expansion. So the result of an earlier expansion effecting the current one. |

That isn’t an insult. That was just humorous advice. Wait till Granouille growls at you. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space
Metric expansion is a key feature of Big Bang cosmology and is modeled mathematically with the FLRW metric. This model is valid in the present era only at relatively large scales (roughly the scale of galactic superclusters and above). At smaller scales matter has clumped together under the influence of gravitational attraction and these clumps do not individually expand, though they continue to recede from one another. The expansion is due partly to inertia (that is, the matter in the universe is separating because it was separating in the past) and partly to the repulsive force of dark energy, which is of a hypothetical nature, but it may be due to the the cosmological constant[citation needed]. Inertia dominated the expansion in the early universe, and according to the Lambda-CDM model (ΛCDM model) the cosmological constant will dominate in the future. In the present era they contribute in roughly equal proportions.

| QUOTE (synthsin75 @ Jan 30 2012, 07:51 PM) | The expansion of space has not been found to require any matter at all.
Since the OP specifies infinite time, any influence at all would eventually have an effect. |
It is the matter moving away from us that makes them think space is expanding. So in someway it is matter dependent. |

Time is generally agreed to be finite into the past, and potentially infinite into the future. Of course, we cannot confirm any infinite quantity. Since space expands with time, it is considered similarly to time. |
