Gravity attracts only for the minority of mass in the universe.
Dark Energy is thought to be self-repulsive.
A Quintessential introduction to Dark Energy
By Paul J. Steinhardt
Department of Physics, Princeton University,
"Most of the energy in the Universe consists of some form
of dark energy that is gravitationally self-repulsive and that
is causing the expansion of the Universe to accelerate.
Most of the energy in the Universe is not `matter'. In its first
300 years, physics has focused on the properties of matter
and radiation, including dark matter. Now we know that
they represent less than 30% of the composition of
the Universe. The rest consists of something we know
virtually nothing about. Most of the energy in the Universe
is not gravitationally attractive. We are probably the last
generation to have been taught that `gravity always
attracts', a notion which has been presented as a basic fact
of nature for hundreds of years. We are now aware that gravity
can repel, as well."
