Ok some time ago someone explained the expansion of the universe to me...The expalation was that we can time the light from stars. the further away the stars are the faster they are moving away. I thought about this the other day. The further the stars are away then the older the light is. If the nearer stars light is reaching us faster then surely that's an example of slowing expansion. Ok say we look at the light from a say a far away star and its reaching us at a rate of 2...then we look at a closer star and its light is reaching us at a rate of 1 then surely the furthest star was accelerating when it emmited its light but we need to gauge our measurements on the nearest star. If the nearest stars light isn't reaching us as late as the farthest star then surely expansion is slowing?
