Recent observations of Type Ia supernovae appear to suggest that the universe is accelerating. These results are not only surprising but beyond the realm of any standard model of modern cosmology. Most of the new ideas proposed for understanding the acceleration include a new type of matter (dark energy or axions) or Einstein's cosmological constant. Although such attempts are reasonably successful in fitting the observed data, there is as yet no direct evidence to support the existence of such matter or energy. The present work examines whether the question of acceleration can be resolved within the limits of the established laws of physics. For this purpose we have calculated the contributions of Thomson scattering to the dimming of supernovae within the framework of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology for the special case of flat universe, also consistent with the prediction of the inflationary model. The results and conclusion of our investigation will be presented.
