Are the properties of space being newly created the same as the space behind the Big Bang motion?

Yes, the Big Bang that started the expansion of the Universe is expanding by creating or growing more space. This is an important point to understand and realize, because objects in space like, galaxies, stars, planets and people do not expand along with the Universe. It is only the space in between all the matter that is expanding. The properties of the newly created space is the same as all other space that is already there.

It's important to understand that the Universe is not believed to be like a bubble expanding in an already created space. There is (according to the theory) literally no 'edge of the universe' so that one could be in it or outside it. Although it is expanding (if doppler shift and other evidence can be believed) it is not expanding into space that already existed. All the space there is is contained (we believe) in this Universe. It just seems to be getting bigger!

The properties of the Universe are the properties of the Universe and always have been. The ideas about 'expansion' and 'time since the Big Bang' are convenient ways of explaining what scientists are observing now - ways of explaining things that we really know very little about. There is some case for arguing that 'The Big Bang' occurred infinitely long ago because Time is not a constant and its measurement depends on, for example, the speed at which one is travelling relative to something else!

Maybe there are infinite times of big bang. Space aways is there.

I think I remember three theories (It was in 3 years ago, so they might be outdated) but these were them:

~ The universe keeps getting bigger, and will never stop
~ The universe will stay the same size forever
~ The universe will eventually collapse in on itself

Hope I helped, and I also hope the third one isn't right. heheh.
