I'm not sure this is the conclusion of the part you italicized above, which I read as - space continues to expand but matter holds together (it counteracts the effects of expansion in that the matter doesn't drift apart - but that doesn't mean that space stops expanding around the object - it merely means that the object isn't slowly pulled apart by this expansion, because it is held together by forces that are stronger).
- danbruc 8y agoNo, you misunderstood this. The paragraph I quoted seems to me to support what I thought and wrote initially. What I laid out in my last comment is different from that and the result of rereading and some additional reading. But I didn't yet manage to read much, so this more like a vague idea not backed up by much.
