That sounds plausible. So to further and solidify my understanding, space itself is not expanding, just that physical entities (e.g. galaxies and therelike) are moving apart carried by their initial momentum.
But what I don't quite understand is the notion that this expansion (or motion) seems to accelarate relatively to each other, to a point where distant objects become unreachable for us even with we could travel at the speed of light. Or am I mixing things up here?
