Most people think that matter warps space-time towards its center of mass, but is it possible that our own space-time is static- unable to warp, causes matter to expand?

Scientists are observing phenomena where the light in space is actually moving, suggesting that there is a "doppler shift" happening in space. This expansion is seen by the color changing in the visible light spectrum.

No. I will only state one reason why (though there are many). In a strong gravitational field (as in, near a large mass) it has been proven that time is dilated, thereby proving that space-time is warped, whether it be because of the mass itself, or because of the gravity (which is an effect of the mass)

Matter is moving outward, like if you threw a rock and you were God.
