The evidence - for example, from the redshift, normally attributed to a Doppler effect - is that indeed, the Universe is expanding.

Is universe getting bigger?

Yes. To be more exact, it is "space" within the "observed universe" that is expanding. A confusing fact is that many astronomers believe the universe as a whole may already be infinite in size. This doesn't stop them saying the observable universe is still expanding. "Infinity" is a tricky idea.


Is the universe still expanding?

Yes, and the expansion is accelerating - it is expanding faster and faster.


Is the universe infinate?

Scientists currently believe that no, the universe is not infinite. It is of a finite size however, this finite size is constantly expanding but not expanding AWAY from anything, just expanding


If there was no universe or plants where did the big bang happen?

It happened in the center of the universe, for which it is still expanding on the universe.


Is the universe imploding?

There is no evidence of that, in fact most scientists believe it is expanding.


If scientists say the universe is everything and the universe is always expanding then what is the universe expanding into?

It is not exactly expanding into anything. The galaxies are moving apart from each other, from which we can infer that the universe is expanding. Theoretically, this is a result of the Big Bang, in which the universe began when all matter was compacted into a very tiny sum, and then exploded apart in a very big bang, and as a result is still expanding today.


What things are beyond the universe?

Nobody Knows. Even if we travel at the speed of light we still would die before we got to the end of the universe. Everybody says the universe is expanding, but what is it expanding into?

How did the size of the universe change?

In the immediate aftermath of the "Big Bang" there was rapid inflation of the universe. That slowed and the universe is now believed to be still, slowly, expanding.


Which term is evidence that the galaxy is still expanding?

There is no evidence that our GALAXY is expanding. Are you confusing the word galaxy with the word universe - if so they are NOT the same thing.


How was the galaxies and stars and planets made?

Most people believe that all started with a big bang and all the pieces fall out and some of them form galaxies. Nowadays the Universe is still expanding


Why do physicists believe the universe is constantly expanding?

Mainly because of the redshift we see for distant objects. On average this increases with distance; that is, the further something is from us, the faster it's moving away from us. This is consistent with the universe expanding.
