Take a look at this quote from Steven Hawkings.
". . . it might seem that if we observe all other galaxies to be moving away from us, then we must be at the center of the universe. There is, however, an alternate explanation: the universe might look the same in every direction as seen from any other galaxy, too. This, as we have seen, was Friedmann's second assumption. We have no scientific evidence for, or against this assumption. We believe it only on grounds of modesty: it would be most remarkable if the universe looked the same in every direction around us, but not around other points in the universe . . . ." Steven Hawkings
Note: second assumption Friedmann's says the space is expanding with no center.
So if space is expanndgin, wouldn't the galaxies and solar systms expand also and break apart? What sould be left of the universe? If the universe expands at any point, then could to points collide?
