Actually, no it must not.

It is more like a bomb blowing up . . . all the particles from the bomb are moving away from each other. The particles that are farther away from each other are moving faster away from each other.

What is causing the acceleration of the universe's expansion?

The acceleration of the universe's expansion is believed to be caused by a mysterious force called dark energy. This force is thought to counteract the gravitational pull of matter, causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate.


What is the impact of repulsive gravity on the expansion of the universe?

Repulsive gravity, also known as dark energy, is believed to be causing the accelerated expansion of the universe. This means that galaxies are moving away from each other at an increasing rate. The impact of repulsive gravity is that it counteracts the attractive force of gravity, leading to the expansion of the universe at a faster pace.


What is the key piece of evidence showing that the expansion of the universe is accelerating?

The key piece of evidence showing that the expansion of the universe is accelerating is the observation of distant supernovae, which revealed that they are moving away from us at an increasing rate. This discovery, made in the late 1990s, provided strong support for the theory of dark energy driving the accelerated expansion of the universe.


In which Direction is nearly all galexies moving in?

Nearly all galaxies in the universe are moving away from each other due to the expansion of the universe. This is known as the expansion of the universe or Hubble expansion.


How fast is the expansion of the edge of the universe occurring?

The expansion of the edge of the universe is happening at a rate of about 46 miles per second per megaparsec.

What in space goes on forever?

One thing in space that goes on forever is the expansion of the universe. The universe is constantly expanding, with galaxies moving away from each other at increasing speeds. This expansion is not constrained by any known boundaries or limits.


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).

Does dark energy affect the size of a universe?

Dark energy is thought to be the dominant force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. Therefore, it does affect the size of the universe by causing it to expand at an accelerating rate. This expansion is causing galaxies to move away from each other at increasing speeds.


What does the universe is expanding mean?

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.


What is gravity's role in the expansion of the Universe?

It was believed for quite a while that gravity would slow the expansion of the Universe down. But it is now known that the Universe is expanding faster and faster (apparently it tends towards an exponential growth), so there must be something else, that is pushing the Universe apart, more strongly than gravity can it together. This "something" is called "dark energy".

Does dark matter/energy responsible for the expansion of the universe?

Yes. Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the universe.
