When Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity, he realized that gravity is always attractive. Every object in the universe attracts every other object. If the universe truly were finite, the attractive forces of all the objects in the universe should have caused the entire universe to collapse on itself. This clearly had not happened, and so astronomers were presented with a paradox.
On the other hand, it is manifest that atoms, which are also subject to the laws of gravity do not fall in on themselves. In the case of atoms there is obviously an opposing force to gravity that allows atoms to maintain their shape, but in this case too, it is calculated that electrons being charged particles in an accelerated state as they rotate around the nucleus, must radiate away all their energy and fall into the nucleus in a few pico seconds. The quantum mechanics explanation for the existence of atoms is that electrons are part wave and part particle, since a wave cannot radiate it follows that the electrons do not fall into the nucleus. The Gestalt Aether Theory explanation is that electrons as they orbit the nucleus are constantly experiencing self-interaction by emitting and absorbing virtual photons, thus self-regulating their energy and enabling them to both maintain their solid (particle) property and avoid falling into the nucleus.
The question is what force prevents the Universe from falling in on itself? The obvious answer is energy. How much energy? Expansion of the Universe indicates a lot of energy but then again how is this expansion measured? If as the theory states: Everything that is not gravitationally grounded is expanding, what does it mean? It means that atoms, solar systems and galaxies maintain their shapes while the space around them is expanding at the speed of light. Is this idea feasible or even defensible? If only gravitation plays a role, why isn't the space around atoms, planets and galaxies also expanding?
The question then arises that since gravity is the weakest force in the Universe being 10^-40 times weaker than the electrostatic force. How much weaker than gravity is dark energy? If it is weaker than gravity how can it force the expansion of the Universe? A possible explanation is to ditch the idea of dark energy altogether and go with the original explanation, rather than to make assumptions that the Universe is expanding at several times the speed of light: namely why doesn’t gravity cause the Universe to collapse in on itself. The most acceptable explanation in this case is that even if gravity does cause the eventual collapse of the Universe, it will take a lot of time to do so. Just as it is known that eventually the moon will break away from the influence of the earth and the sun will gradually lose energy and turn into a red giant and so on. Why haven’t we seen the effects of gravity pulling objects closer together? The answer would again be energy, the kinetic energy of objects to which a rotational movement has been imparted by the original drawing in by gravity of objects into a tightening spiral. For instance if the sun did not eventually burn up all of its hydrogen what would happen, would the earth eventually slow in its orbit and fall into the sun?
