The distance between galaxies is increasing, pretty much in all directions. This suggests that space itself is expanding. We also now know the rate of expansion is in fact increasing.

∙ 15y agoIf the Universe is still expanding, the distances between galaxies, on average, continues to increase. The fact that, on average, we observe galaxies to be receding from us is one of the fundamental observations that lead to our theories of the Big Bang. An expanding Universe is also consistent with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

The universe is every expanding because the stars billions and billions light-years away from us finally have their light reach the Earth. We eventually find these "newly discovered stars" and record the down so we know about them.

Is expanding universe accurate?
All the available evidence strongly indicates that the Universe is, indeed, expanding.
If universe is expanding but mass of sun and planets is not then shouldn't gravity be reduced due to space-time and mass relation?
The answer is that the expansion of the universe is only noticeable over distances of hundreds of millions of light years or more. Over the much smaller distances found within galaxies and planetary systems its effects are negligible.
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.
The implication of hubbles law is that the universe is?
That it is expanding.
How is the universe expanding even if atom can't be created?
It is space that is expanding. The amount of matter doesn't necessarily increase. This means that the average density of the Universe is decreasing.It is space that is expanding.

What are 3 possible outcomes of the universe?
1. the universe continues to keep expanding 2. the universe slowly stops expanding 3. big crunch (basically the universe will stop expanding and fall back into itself)
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.
When the universe is expanding?
the universe is expanding continuously even right now as you read this little sentence I wrote.
What does the redshift tell us about the universe?

Do volume in the universe change?

Is your universe contracting?
No, it is expanding.No, it is expanding.No, it is expanding.No, it is expanding.
Does this expanding universe model mean that the milky way galaxy is the center of the universe?
No it does not. It is my basic understanding of this theory that the 'true center' of the universe would be mostly devoid of material.
Who showed that other galaxies exsisted and obsereved that the universe is expanding?
Edwin Hubble was responsible for the concept of the universe expanding.
