When scientists talk about the expanding universe, they mean that it has been growing ever since its beginning with the Big Bang. Every thing is running away from everything in space with the space itself , like expanding balloon, where are they going? in all direction to where? who is pulling them?
The holy books mentioned that 2000 years ago, and 1450 years ago and talked about God and ,his creation and the expansion of the universe .
The galaxies outside of our own are moving away from us, and the ones that are farthest away are moving the fastest. This means that no matter what galaxy you happen to be in, all the other galaxies are moving away from you.
My theory is like this; if you bring a sheath of plastic and you hold it with friends from 4 corners then let say you put a large round object in the center of this sheath this large ball will sink toward a gravity and pull the sheath with it , if you look from above you see that it is sinking toward a gravity and the largest the mass of this ball the deep it will sink if the corner holding force stay the same.
It is the mass and not the size of the ball . If you look at this ball from under neath the sheath you will see a bulging ball with the sheath expansion outward as the large ball pushing throw the sheath to liberate it self from the holding force. It is relative for each side , we can not see the hall universe from single point. If you throw a small marble at the sheath this marble will go toward the center of the sheath and go around the large ball and turn and sink down with it , pulling force and gravity at play here. but if the holding force change at the edge / corners of the sheath let us say the force will increase the pull that will add more strength in the space and that is why i know space has mass .
less power at the edge of the sheath make every think sink and pull upward or downward to the center. If the universe have center where is it ? Now as we know every thing is expanding so it is logical that the force holding this sheath also expanding and running away in different directions so that all the stars, planets and galaxies will expand with in the space with perfect balance .Now who is pulling this sheath /the outer space / the edge of the universe ?Is it God? Is it a big star or planet that it is so huge it pull every thing .But because the expansion in all direction it could not be one star and it is illogical to be 2 or 3 or 4 or more it will have mathematical errors. so it must be an object surround the hall universe like the throne of God , as we know that God throne is surrounding the hall universe as the holy books teach us.
Now where is that throne ? how far from us? what it look like? This is the question we must answer and find . If the throne of god in a center and all the universe turning around it this will limit our view of God as God will be limited to a space where things go around it. Sure there are angels going around it and praying as the holy books teach us .but those angles are within and are going around the throne for eternity to pray and praise God .but God still surrounding them .
I theorize that our universe is expanding and running but not in a straight line , it must be in a curve and elliptical or circular in nature it must be. and the universe also in my view must have a pulse of contraction and relaxation ,up and down motion frequency when it move so it will move like a ship in the sea up and down and in a circle around the large object in the universe within a larger force out side of it, acting like a pulling force from all direction. So God throne is not God him self, It is a place where all the universe can turn around it an object so large that pull every thing toward it and God is is also out side of this throne and surrounding the hall universe. it is that simple.

However, the galaxies are not moving through space, they are moving in space, because space is also moving. In other words, the universe has no center; everything is moving away from everything else. If you imagine a grid of space with a galaxy every million light years or so, after enough time passes this grid will stretch out so that the galaxies are spread to every two million light years, and so on, possibly into infinity.
The universe encompasses everything in existence, from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy; since forming some 13.7 billion years ago in the Big Bang, it has been expanding and may be infinite in its scope. The part of the universe of which we have knowledge is called the observable universe, the region around Earth from which light has had time to reach us.
One famous analogy to explain the expanding universe is imagining the universe like a loaf of raisin bread dough. As the bread rises and expands, the raisins move farther away from each other, but they are still stuck in the dough. In the case of the universe, there may be raisins out there that we can’t see any more because they have moved away so fast that their light has never reached Earth. Fortunately, gravity is in control of things at the local level and keeps our raisins together.
Who Figured This Out?
The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble’s Law. The Hubble Space Telescope was named after him, and the single number that describes the rate of the cosmic expansion, relating the apparent recession velocities of external galaxies to their distance, is called the Hubble Constant.
So, is the Universe Infinite?
It might be easier to explain about the beginning of the universe and the Big Bang Theory, than to talk about how it will end. It is possible that the universe will last forever, or it may be crushed out of existence in a reverse of the Big Bang scenario, but that would be so far in the future that it might as well be infinite. Until recently, cosmologists (the scientists who study the universe) assumed that the rate of the universe’s expansion was slowing because of the effects of gravity. However, current research indicates that the universe may expand to eternity. But research continues and new studies of supernovae in remote galaxies and a force called dark energy may modify the possible fates of the universe.
And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur’an, 51:47)
Seven books of the Bible reference this event starting from about 1000 BC in the book of Psalms, to about 518 BC in the book of Zechariah (a span of almost 500 years). This “stretching” of the universe was done during the creation week described in Genesis
.it is like people going to mecca and turning around 7 times , God is not inside of it but all around it so it is like the throne a symbol . every thing in this universe is turning around something or itself , the electron ,protons all smaller and larger units ,stars ,planets ,every thing is moving like rivers , winds and water if they stay still life as we know it will stop ,our blood is moving and our life is moving second by second toward the higher spirit of this universe life is changing and expanding ,with our knowledge expand with it but no matter what we do or where we go we are still inside the bubble turning around and God is watching us and surrounding us from all direction.
