Yes that looks OK ... I think this can be explained. I am thinking about 2 scenerios :

1) gravity with a different dimension ... this was asked about in my Q&A section post.
2) That if everything is accelerating ( including us ) but at different rates of acceleration based on position then everything would move away from everything else.
3) In the past all things were moving faster than they were now ??? just threw this one in there.

Drawings were good and clear and are more or less more or less what I am basing my ATM on.

However I question your drawings. You seem to show that


-- B -- A -- we -- C -- D --
turns into:
---- B ---- A --- we --- C ---- D ----

However this means that AB and CD grows quicker than Awe and weC

I dont think that is correct. As it would mean we are in the center of everything. The MS thought here is that everything is moving away from everything at the same speed.


So
-- B -- A -- we -- C -- D --
turns into:
---- B ---- A ---- we ---- C ---- D ----
not
---- B ---- A --- we --- C ---- D ----

                   |
                   |
                   |
                   H
                   |
And then PLEASE assume that the horizontal and vertical dashes are the same length!!!!!!!!!!! (unless you get to some weird ideas).

I hope this shows you what I tried to explain you in words in the previous messages, that there is a UNIFORM expansion, with everything MOVING AWAY from us in all directions (and yes you have to expand the figure to the 3rd dimension, which is a bit difficult to draw in "code mode").

So, in the end, there cannot be one big mass pulling at the universe, because it is a 3D expansion, and not a 1D like you drew.



You are probably thinking about the Great Attractor which is acting on our "local environment" and not on the whole universe.
