Back to the accelerating expansion... Im proposing the existence and the circumstances of hypothetical particle I'll dubb the "antigraviton". Risky, I know, considering that the graviton's existence hasn't yet been confirmed.

Think about it... a particle with the opposite properties of gravity...

-Universal force of expansion and repulsion.

-Increases in strength as distance between "antigravitons" and their hosts (particles they cling on to)

- Just like their counterparts, they accelerate, but accelerate upon separation

This explains the accelerating expansion of the universe... perhaps there is a shadow universe, or maybe just an antiparticle causing this to happen...
Bold is mine.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, since you proposed that the antigraviton exists, and has different properties than the graviton, and from what I can decipher a substantial portion of your theory rests on this assertion.

The mainstream consensus is that the graviton would be its own antiparticle. What support can you provide for your idea that an antigraviton would behave differently than a graviton?
