That post made no sense... The constant expanding (constant velocity, acc=0) translates to the universe in which we now know and observe. That is what all the empirical evidence has shown since the invention and implamentation of space telescopes. Do you not get what acceleration means? It means the rate (velocity) or the expansion is ever increasing... so, it starts out at 100, 1000 years later it is 101, etc... spread that over 10 billion years, and we're at 10 million from 100 over the course of the universe. That is HUGE change... something that would result in a much different universe than we currently have.

I hope that explains my point better, because your last post makes me think that you aren't understanding what I'm saying.
