The string will never expand (unless the acceleration is itself
accelerating) because Dark Energy is far too weak to overcome the chemical
bonds holding the atoms in the string together. Dark Energy is even too
weak to overcome the gravitational attraction between the Andromeda galaxy
and the Milky Way, that why we're getting 250,000 miles closer to Andromeda
every hour despite the expansion of the universe.
