As the universe evolves, eventually there will only be "Super Massive Black Holes" left, where there once were galaxies.

As space expands, it's velocity exceeds the speed of light. Encasing us in a "Cosmological horizon".

This horizon is shrinking for every observer, as the accelleration of space breaks the speed of light in a smaller volume.

Eventually, each "Cosmological Horizon", will shrink down to the siz of each remaining SMBH.

And the "Event Horizon", of each "Super Massive Black Hole", will meet the "Cosmological Horizon", it is encased in.

You actually own "matching socks"?

But I see you are 1 step from acceptance. Please be kind, when you persecute.

Is the expansion of space affected by gravity?

Space, is affected by gravity.

Which is a result of mass/energy.

Gravity is a negative quantity. The energy in a vaccum is a positive quantity.

Slightly higher than the energy of an electron per every cm^3 throughout the universe.

So theoretically, Dark energy produces it's own negative energy; A.K.A gravity, But it is very, very, very weak.

But yes, the expansion of space is affected by gravity.

It's just that space is so damn big, and concentrations of
energy/matter ->gravity are so damn small.

But none of it matters, (in the infinite amount of multiverses) so long as everything adds to 0.

And that is why we exist, and why this thread is on topic.

It is the ultimate origin, to realise that if you put an infinite amount of {Zero} in a set you are counting, do it twice you have 2. sqrt that, & you have;

(In binary, hexidecimal, or any computer language you care to create)

All the information contained in *EVERY POSSIBLE UNIVERSE*.

That is why there is something rather than nothing.

I don't know enough to say what would happen when a black hole's event

cosmological horizon would produce Hawking radiation. That would
require the presence of tidal forces. How would empty space, even
space expanding faster than the speed of light, produce such forces?

It seems to me that the black hole would be affected in some manner,
unless it could produce a complete localized resistance to the
universal expansion, but I don't know what that effect would be. I
remember seeing something about a 'big rip' scenario in which
everything would eventually be torn apart and broken down into its
individual subatomic particles. I assume this would eventually be the
fate of black holes too.

Would the cosmological horizon itself have any special significance or
would the effect on the black hole increase geometrically even after
that point as the expansion continued to acellerate? How does the
concept of acelleration, as it's ordinarily applied, even correspond
to a continuing increase of the cosmic expansion rate? It's all very
mysterious to me. I have some doubt that either of us can competently
discuss such issues.

If you're interested in reading from someone who is qualified:

<https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/ask-ethan-53-what-is-the-big-rip-5aa777107b9d>

Short version: the best evidence is there will be no Big Rip, and
gravitationally-bound objects will remain so indefinitely, while
everything else will be pushed away beyond each other's light horizon.
As Lawrence Krauss describes, this will result in a future where
cosmologists will observe a Universe of a single galaxy and no
evidence of the Big Bang, and they will conclude from the evidence as
they did before Hubble, that the Universe had no beginning.

Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility of a Big Rip. If
that happened, the best guess is that all black holes
in the universe evaporate completely at Planck time before the Big Rip
due to Hawking radiation:

Nobody knows what Dark Energy really is. Scientists can only observe
what they think are its effects, but they don't yet have a cause.

I don't even understand its effects, much less its cause. Supposedly
there are four fundemental forces of nature - and then there's this
mysterious energy that causes space to expand yet is an inherent
property of space. Apparently it retains its same density even as the
volume of space expands. Energy from nothing? Doesn't this contradict
the first law of thermodynamics?

The (local) curvature of spacetime IS gravity. As the current expansion
continues, spacetime gets globally flatter.

Now I am curious if there have been any attempts to discover whether G
has changed over time. (I know other constants have been checked, based
on how they would affect cosmological phenomena, and found constant
within limits of measurement.)

I know there's been speculation, but I'm not current on whether anyone
is seriously considering that. There is a paper that just appeared in
the Astrophysical Journal

http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/803/1/20/article (just the abstract)

that bears on the acceleration of the universal expansion. It seems
that type Ia supernovae are not the uniform 'standard candles' they have
been thought to be, but are systematically redder if they are nearer to
us. The effect of this is that the acceleration (caused by 'dark
energy'?) is less than previously thought, though by how much is still
unclear. It would be funny if it turned out that there isn't any
acceleration, since the discovery of that resulted in Nobel prizes.
This possibility ISN'T suggested in the paper.

For reasonable definitions of 'local',that's right. To get esoteric, if
'dark energy' has some proposed properties to its equation of state,
eventually everything gets pulled apart as the universe approaches
complete flatness. So even the meaning of 'local' would shrink towards
zero. Depending on your outlook, this is serious theoretical cosmology
or unsupported arm-waving. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish the two.

The universe is flat.

But in observations published in the last few months, you can see one universe collide with another.
