And I would say the two galaxies aren't moving.
They're kind of sitting there.
It's the space in between that has now stretched, has now changed.
And that's a more realistic idea.
The galaxies are not flying through space.
It's the space itself that is getting bigger in every direction at once.
And that's why there's no center.
There's no empty center to the universe.
The universe, as far as we can map it, has galaxies everywhere.
You know, there's no center to it.
The expansion is happening in every direction at once because the elastic of space and time itself in every direction is just getting bigger.
We don't know why.
Yeah, and that's the problem.
So, I mean, we have no description of that.
You know, there are particle accelerators.
I've had the wonderful chance to go to CERN a couple of times and go to the Large Hadron Collider.
And, you know, using incredible accelerating magnets, they whip just single protons up to very, very high temperatures.
I mean, they're trying to recreate conditions where ... I mean, they can't recreate the conditions of what things were like before the Big Bang, but can you get matter to such a high energy state that it can recreate what things were like a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, or maybe even further back?
But the idea of what was that state of matter before that expansion, we have no description of yet.
I think we will someday.
