In accepted theory, Hubble expansion only operates at the largest scales, i.e., the inter-galactic level. However, this is a theoretical conclusion, which can be rebutted with other theoretical considerations. More significantly, increasing observational data and other evidence, particularly within the Solar System, point to universal expansion operating on all scales where gravitation, as opposed to electronic interaction, is the dominant force. Local Hubble flow has implications for current theories of tidal drag as well as both the early evolution of the Solar System and its long-term future. Expansion is also expected to operate on the structure of galaxies, but it is unclear whether this has any impact on the dark matter problem.
