Abstract

This is an alternate explanation to the redshift effect and increasing distance between galaxies. Everything in the universe excluding empty space is shrinking, including elementary particles. In contrast to everything else, the empty space would appear to be expanding. This idea is compatible with most of established science, such as the theory of relativity, the doppler effect, the big rip idea. And, it also helps explain dark energy. An idea that is not very well understood yet.
