Gravity, Dark Matter, Alpha, & General Relativity

...." It appears that as gravity lost its grip on the universe to dark energy
and the universe has expanded, the bonds between electrons and protons have
gotten stronger. "...

uncovering violations of the equivalence principle ? a cornerstone of
Einstein?s general theory of relativity. "

Oops - that's Dark Energy not Dark Matter.

Interesting. Somewhere, and not too long ago, I read that in the end,
gravity (the weakest force of all) would probably "victor" over the others.

By "the end," I'm referring to "absolute end." This would be the point in
time which is marked by every star in every galaxy having gone stone cold
and all its matter then dispersed.

I'm a little vague on this since it's been a couple of years ago that I read
this information but if I recall correctly, what would be left of all that
ever was is a complete void between random black holes.

Anyone else got anything on this?

Even the black holes will eventually go away due to Hawking radiation.

Or, it COULD be that the Doppler effect is a great measurer of distance, and
due to the great distance of some objects, we are seeing them when the
expansion was much faster, leading to a possibly incorrect notion that the
expansion is accelerating instead of slowing.
The theory could be correct, but then again the physicists just might have
stopped looking at alternatives when they got one they liked...

IF Hawking is correct.
