Each ink spot represents a galaxy cluster. As the balloon is inflated each ink dot moves away from each other AND the balloon increases its dimension (radius) overall.<br /><br />Our red shift measurements confirm the velocity of recession increases with distance of an object - and hence, yes, this is interpreted as cosmic expansion.Copernicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699554476216140859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301096656497422535.post-24410168051844232032014-05-06T14:02:35.404-07:002014-05-06T14:02:35.404-07:00Technically speaking, the universe is not expandin...Technically speaking, the universe is not expanding just because the things in it are flying away from each other.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468764002917240519noreply@blogger.com
