Employing the area metric curvature scalar, the gravitational Einstein-Hilbert action is re-interpreted as dynamics for an area metric. Without the need for dark energy or fine-tuning, area metric cosmology explains the observed small acceleration of the late Universe.4 pages, 1 figureHigh Energy Physics - TheoryAstrophysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
