Here's one I've wondered about - not being an astronomy expert - but I understand it fascinates scientists that galaxies farther away are moving faster than the ones closer to us. If I understand that correctly, it makes sense to me - the ones farther away are also farther back in time, and would be showing less effect of gravity slowing them down, so they WOULD be moving faster....I'm sure I'm missing something. Can you set me straight?
