Every point is receding away from every Every point is receding away from every other point. Every point seems to be at other point. Every point seems to be at the center of an expanding universe.the center of an expanding universe.

The farther away something is, the faster The farther away something is, the faster it is receding (unlike an explosion).it is receding (unlike an explosion). Farther away Farther away looks redder (Doppler effect) looks redder (Doppler effect)

Relationship is linear: twice as far Relationship is linear: twice as far receding twice as fast.receding twice as fast.
