What are all the objects in the universe moving towards?

[Selkie]

As we know, all masses in space are moving at an increasing rate apart from each other. It is something no one can really figure out.

My theory: We are but tiny objects in an even larger world. Specifically, a child's toy. When he spins it, the objects fly apart.

Post your theories here.

That the universe is still rapidly expanding from the Big Bang?  caterpie;


And your theory is just weird.

Some of us didn't know that.   

Not me of course.   cook

at least you're not coming up with idiotic theories

It's not accelerating, it's slowing down. 

The rate of expansion can be measured and projected into the past/future, where in the past it goes back to the Big Bang, and in the future it eventually slows to no expansion, then starts collapsing all the way back into pre-Big Bang state.

What explains the increase in speed then?

There's no increase in speed, what are you reading that tells you that?

Isn't that the Islamic holy book thing?  Or am I thinking Hindu?
