In fact, distant parts of the Universe are moving away from us faster than the speed of light.

What happened when the universe expanded?

It hasn't stopped. If anything it is expanding faster than ever.


How universe is changing?

The universe is expanding, and it was recently discovered that the universe is expanding much faster than was originally thought. Also, objects within the universe are constantly changing, such as the birth and death of stars, expanding and/or contraction of gas clouds, and objects in motion (the spinning of galaxies and solar systems, rogue stars or planets) are constantly changing.


Is space expanding faster than the speed of light?

Yes. The farthest parts of the observable Universe are getting away from us, faster than the speed of light. The Wikipedia article on "metric expansion of space" can give you more information.


Will the universe ever begin to contract?

It doesn't seem so. There is evidence that the expansion is accelerating (the Universe is expanding faster than in the past). The reason for this is still somewhat of a mystery; do an Internet search on "dark energy" for more details.


What year did the earth expand in the big bang theory?

It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang. The Universe continues expanding, though.It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang.

It is not. Nothing that we are aware of moves faster than light.

Will there be an end to the universe just as it started with the Big Bang?

The end of the Universe will probably be quite different than the beginning. The Universe is expanding, and it seems obvious that the rate of expansion is increasing - it is expanding faster and faster. Therefore, it won't again contract into a tiny space, as was once believed.


What would happen if the galaxies in the universe start expanding faster than the speed of light?

we would be all screwed


What does the red shift tell us about the changing universe?

Mainly that the Universe is expanding. Analyzing far-away galaxies, it has recently become clear that the expansion is accelerating - the Universe is now expanding faster than a few billion years ago.

Is the universe curve and for ever expanding?

The shape of the Universe is yet being investigated - it is not known for sure what its shape on a large scale is.As for the expansion, our current knowledge is that the Universe is not only expanding, but that the rate of expansion is increasing (it is expanding faster than in the past). It may be reasonable to assume that this trend will continue in the future, but it would also be a little premature to be completely sure.The shape of the Universe is yet being investigated - it is not known for sure what its shape on a large scale is.As for the expansion, our current knowledge is that the Universe is not only expanding, but that the rate of expansion is increasing (it is expanding faster than in the past).

Why galaxies are going far away and the universe seems to expanding?

That's because the Universe really is expanding. It started as a "big bang", where all the matter and energy in the Universe was concentrated in a tiny space, smaller than an atom - at a tremendous temperature and pressure. From there it started expanding, and continues expanding to this day.That's because the Universe really is expanding.
