Default Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

Hmm, I don't get it. Why would the earth's orbit be unstable? I mean, the sun travels at a constant speed, doesn't it? And the gravitational pull is continous, even if there is 'lag'. So the worst thing I can picture is that the earth will be travelling a tiny bit closer to the sun on one side and a little further behind on the other.
