In this work we compare the origin of the ¦« argument with the concept of unimodular gravity. A metaphysical interpretation of the Poisson equation during introduction of ¦« could account for the confusion. %K Einstein Field Equation %K ˇ°dark energyˇ± %K repulsive gravitational effect %K unimodular gravity %U http://www.ptep-online.com/index_files/2013/PP-32-04.PDF
