Hubble did not conclude that the Universe is expanding. Hubble thought the red shift indicated a unrecognized principle of nature. Hubble's constant actually shows the universe is bounded at R=150kMpc/31 and H= c/R = 62km/s/Mpc. The increase red shift velocity indicates a decreasing 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.

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?

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 expanding universe accurate?

All the available evidence strongly indicates that the Universe is, indeed, expanding.
