I’m not sure if this answers the question, but it might help.
Everything in space is moving, but it’s not expanding outward from a central point, like an explosion. Instead, the space between the things is getting bigger.
The balloon analogy gets thrown around a lot, but I find it misleading- It’s not about the balloon getting bigger, expanding outward from the center of the sphere. It’s more about the surface of that balloon stretching.
The rubber sheet analogy helps. Scatter a bunch of things on a infinite rubber sheet. Now stretch that in all directions - the things get further apart, but are not moving away from a central point.
In the vein of the second one, I saw George with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Opera House, performing with Jon Lord a symphony that wrote. Fucking incredible.
