  The theory of an induced energy polarized vacuum provides an alternative to
the standard cosmological model. The theory has previously been shown to lead
to the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relationship [1], to agree with the observed
rotation curve of the Galaxy [2], to readily produce the observed features in
the rotational curves of other spiral galaxies [3], and to agree with
observations of the Coma cluster [4]. All without the need for any free
parameters. The theory of an induced energy polarized vacuum is now applied to
superclusters. From a model of the distribution of superclusters, the overall
density parameter of universe as given by the theory of an induced energy
polarized vacuum is Omega = 0.94 plus/minus 0.23. This is consistent with a
geometrically flat universe. In addition, by treating the superclusters as
unbound systems, the theory leads to an accelerating expansion of the universe
in line with observations and without requiring the need for dark energy.
