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

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.


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?


Is the universe expanding or contracting?

Do you believe that the universe is still expanding?

Yes, scientific evidence, such as redshift measurements of distant galaxies, indicates that the universe is still expanding. This expansion is believed to be accelerating due to dark energy, a mysterious force that counteracts gravity at large distances.


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 much did the universe increase after the big bang?

From an infinitesimally small point to the present size, the universe is still expanding as a result of the big bang.


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.


Why do scientists believe the universe is still expanding?

Scientists believe the universe is still expanding primarily due to observations of distant galaxies, which are moving away from us, a phenomenon known as redshift. This observation supports the Big Bang theory, indicating that the universe has been expanding since its inception. Additionally, the discovery of dark energy, a mysterious force driving the acceleration of this expansion, further reinforces the idea that the universe continues to grow. Measurements of cosmic microwave background radiation also provide evidence of the universe's expanding nature over time.


How is the universe changing by red shift?

Redshift in the universe occurs as objects move away from one another, expanding the universe. This indicates that the universe is still expanding, consistent with the Big Bang theory. The rate of this expansion, known as the Hubble constant, provides insight into the age and future of the universe.


Why is the universe cooler?

It is because the Universe is expanding.
