If the Universe is expanding why arn't all galaxies moving away from each other?

It's because the two of us are close enogh together for our gravity to attract each otherFrank wrote:I understand that the Andromeda Galaxy is approaching our Milky Way Galaxy.

Or maybe it is just being modified to fit some new facts?harry wrote:The dating and distant calculation is under question.
There are something like 9 known super clusters and with deep field more are to be found. The question is this: Are the superclusters moving away from each other.
The expanding universe idea came from the Big Bang Theory which has gone out with a big Bang.
On the contrary, not only is the universe expanding, but is expanding at an accelerating rate.harry wrote:Expanding Universe is a false statement. The dating and distant calculation is under question.
If the Universe is "All" how can it expand within itself.
Parts of the Universe may expand from themsleves in the overal process of recycling and this does not mean the universe is expanding.
Our Local group of galaxies being about 35 has M87 as its centre. The group behaves like a unit and not expanding. This group forms a unit that belongs to a larger group which behaves like a unit a super cluster. There are something like 9 known super clusters and with deep field more are to be found.

together with this it gives you whole idea: http://www.anzwers.org/free/universe/stardist.htmlEmpeda2 wrote:http://www.anzwers.org/free/universe/universe.html
Incidently - this is a well cool map that I think everyone would be quite interested in 8)
Hi Empeda,Empeda2 wrote:The point is that we cannot say that we are expanding into anything - the current inflation model suggests that 'our' universe is massively bigger than the 'visible' universe anyway.
Hi Empeda2Empeda2 wrote:What that means is that the two cannot have come into 'causal' contact within the life span of our universe, so how can the symmetry have formed?
Basically, in order to account for an observation of the CMB, cosmologists had to include this rapid inflation period into the big bang in order to explain the observation.
Now of course, they are linking that to dark matter as welll......
