How can it do that?

well imagine an explosion, everything will be thrown apart on different direction wont they, but eventually something will get on the way of the pieces that have been thrown apart and stop it from going any further. well imagine an explosion in a place like the universe, there is nothing to stop or slow these objects down. so everything will move apart on the same speed, but there is no friction or anything else that could get on its way to stop it, so it will continue to move apart, and it will move apart faster and faster in time. eventually the universe will expand at the speed of light. that is just a theory, who know how fast the universe moves apart.

The universe started with an explosion-the big bang. Once the entire universe was one point of infinite mass and zero volume ie, it had highest density possible. Then was the explosion which created matter, and to matter applied time. Just as in an explosion, the objects move away from each other, similarly all the bodies in universe are moving away from each other. Though big bang is not like an ordinary explosion, yet it is the closest example that can be referred to. The bottom line.... Universe is expanding because of the initial explosion, the big bang.

The universe is expanding and diminishing in density.
It's origin is still producing maximum density space that expands radially creating matter.
The universe has a maximum size so eventually the expansion must stop,which it has at the farthest reaches.
Light from the farthest galaxies reaches us billions of years after they have gone out of existence.
The universe can't be in an accelerated rate of expansion,the red shift can easily be attributed a much more logical reason than an accelerated recession.

1. the big bang was the moving of everything outwards from a single point, that is still happening today.
2. the universe is so big, that with gravity and all that, it should collapse in on itself. some scientists have proposed the idea of dark matter - matter that opposes these forces that would make the universe collapse, and keep it expanding.

RobRoy has it right.
In my Fractal Foam Model of Universes, the ether is a foam exactly like the cosmic foam (great walls of galaxies) but much smaller in scale. Our measures of distance are determined by the number of ether-foam bubbles between two points. Each second, in every cubic meter, about 10^50 ether-foam bubbles split in two, adding about 10^-55 cubic meter per second to each cubic meter of space.

the big bang was a big explosion which fired everything all over the place and its still all moving outwards

Galileo taught us that "Why does it move?" is not the correct question. You should be asking "Why is its motion changing?"
