What about other motions?

I think this is a very interesting position on dark matter, and it made me wonder about something else that may have an effect. I remember reading that the universe is now thought to be expanding at nearly the speed of light. If that is so, wouldn't that add to the inertial mass of all these galaxies flying away from each other at such a great rate of acceleration?

Hoping for a reply,
Tim
